Popular Nigerian comedian, Mr Bright Okpocha, otherwise known as Basketmouth, has announced an end to his marriage to his wife, Elsie Uzoma.
The showbiz star disclosed the crash to his union with Elsie in a post on his verified Facebook page on Thursday, stating that it was a “difficult” decision.
However, he did not give any reason for the breakup but assured his fans that they would continue to work together for the growth of their children.
“As much as it pains me to bring my personal life to the public space, this is an unavoidable situation.
“After much deliberations, my wife and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage.
“As we move forward separately, we will continue to work together to give our beautiful children all the care, love, guidance and support they need.
“We humbly ask that you respect our privacy as we navigate through these times,” the post from Basketmouth said.
Basketmouth and Elsie walked down the aisle 12 years ago, and the union produced two children. His announcement has remained a shock to his numerous fans.
