A Nollywood actor, Fredrick Akpowene Aseroma, was on Friday, March 26, 2010, arrested and detained at the Ojodu-Abiodun Police Division, Ogun State Command, over allegations of beating his wife, Blessing Aseroma, who he has been married to for 10 years.
Mr. Aseroma, 40, along with his younger brother, Temotighe, 30, was detained after they both allegedly tried to strangle Mrs. Aseroma, 38, bruised her arm and almost stripped her naked because she reported them to a non-governmental women’s rights organisation, Project Alert.
mrs aseroma says''i cant take it anymore“I went to Project Alert on Wednesday (March 24) because that same morning, they both beat me until the neighbours intervened. What caused it then was that our children have been out of school because of non-payment of school fees,” Mrs. Aseroma said.
The wife, who has three children for Mr. Aserome, claimed that the husband has always been abusive right from the University of Lagos, where they both schooled.“Even in school, he had been beating me. But I thought that it would stop and things would change. I don’t know why I tolerated it. I guess because of love I overlooked everything,” said Mrs. Aseroma, a graduate of History.
The executive director of Project Alert, Josephine Effah-Chukwuma, said Mrs. Aseroma came to the NGO in a state of shock. She said it was evident that, over the years, the lady had lost her self-esteem, as a result of the physical and psychological abuse suffered.
“We invited her husband to try and resolve the issue, but he refused to come. We have now taken the case up with the police. Her case is a very sad one, and a reminder that women are being abused at an alarming rate. So now it’s about naming and shaming people who violate women,” Mrs. Effah-Chukwuma said.
When NEXT called Mr. Aseroma’s phone number, he picked up, but immediately cut off when asked for his reaction to the allegations of wife battery.
MY THOUGHTS: ok...he is definately not on the list of my top 20 naija best actors but i have always lied him because of how i thought he had managed to stay out of scandals and then THIS???? phewww!!!
And...i wonder...what makes a woman thinks that a man who has had such guts to raise his hands on you once, will not do it again...ok..am a man here, so at least, i have a better perspective...Now LISTEN.......
LADIES...RUN FAR AWAY FROM A MAN WHO BEATS YOU ONCE....COS IF HE HAS DONE IT ONCE, HE WILL DO IT AGAIN, AND THEN AGAIN, AND THEN AGAIN AND AGAIN!

NEVER BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR AS YOU ARE ONLY HEARING IT FROM ONE PERSPECTIVE. THIS WOMAN WE HAVE BEEN TOLD WAS MARRIED TO ANOTHER MAN BEFORE AND THIS PRODUCED A 23YEAR OLD GIRL. THEN, SHE CLAIMED THE MAN WAS ALSO BEATING HER MERCILESSLY. THIS IS HER SECOND MARRIAGE AND IT WOULD NOT BE THE LAST. SUCH WOMEN MAY NEVER FIND MEN AS THEIR TONGUES ARE SHARP AND NOT ALL MEN HAVE PATIENCE. SHE CHEATED ON HIM AND WAS CAUGHT RED-HANDED. THAT IS THE TRUTH ALTHOUGH FRED WILL NOT COME OUT TO TELL YOU THIS. I AM FAMILY AND I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. PLEASE STOP CRUCIFYING HIM BECAUSE WE KNOW THE TRUTH AND IT WOULD SET HIM FREE ONE DAY. TRUST ME.
