Karen Igho, who won Big Brother Africa in 2011 has appealed to Nigerians to come to her aid as she has been rendered homeless.
The former actress who previously claimed on Tuesday, October 1, that she is in the process of getting a divorce from her husband, Yaroslav Rakos, alleged that he had been abusing her and is trying to take their kids from her by claiming she's mentally unstable.
She added that he relocated her to a foreign country and has now abandoned her to fend for herself, leaving her homeless.
However, later on the same day, she made a post thanking her husband for the good times and said they will work towards coparenting in peace.
She added that she is training to be a nurse and shared a video of herself dressed as a nurse.
