She said he tied her up and plunged my head into water in the night, threatening her to confess.
Popular Nollywood actress, Etinosa Idemudia has alleged that her estranged husband tortured and attempted to drown her.
She said he did that while forcing her to confess if she was cheating on him.
The thespian opened up on her brutal experience of domestic violence during her stint in marriage in a recent chat with media personality Chude Jideonwo.
She said she was hospitalised and placed on oxygen supplementation after the torture.
Idemudia said, “I was green, I no know anything. I was a mumu. I was 22 when I got married. My husband told me that ‘I’m not your friend, I’m your lord’.
“His [my ex-husband’s] uncle called me when I was in the clinic. I was receiving treatment because the night before, they tied me up. I went through a lot the night before. So, I just said this is the end before I will die. I fasted. Ulcer nearly killed me. Fasting, praying.
“See all those CIA films wey they go put person head inside bowl of water and torture you because they want to hear the truth whether you are cheating or not?”
The host, Jideonwo, asked: “So there was physical violence?”
Idemudia responded: “Wetin dey break person bone? Wetin dey carry person go hospital wey dem put oxygen for your nose?
“As tall as you are now, he [my ex-husband] is very… I don’t like short men. I like big people, I want to feel protected [laughs]. So, that kind one blow like this. If he slaps sef, shu!”
She said she later reported her ex-husband to the authorities after she got fed up of his abuses.
