Maria reveals why she dated Cubana Chieft Priet's brother in-law

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Maria Chike has revealed that when she first started talking to Kelvin Anene, who was once Chief Priest's in-law, she was unaware that he was married.

Recall that Chief Priest Cubana had accused Maria of having an affair with his sister's husband in 2021 and said that this was the reason for their divorce.

The nightlife entrepreneur asserted that Maria threatened his sister in addition to having an affair with his brother-in-law.

Chief Priest said: She stole my sister’s husband. As if that’s not enough, she is sending her threats. That I won’t let it slide.

“Divorce was just served barely a month ago. My sister gave up the marriage after finding out Kelvin sponsored the big brother movement.

“Also when she came to Dubai to see her husband who does not pick up calls again, Maria opened the door for her, putting on the husband’s t-shirt.

“I personally gave Kelvin who managed maria’s account while she was in big brother. All we ask is to let her not receive threats again. She has moved out of their matrimonial home in Owerri to Abuja.”

Maria emphasized that she was unaware that Kelvin and his wife were going through a difficult marriage at the time when discussing the charges in a recent interview with Nigerian TV anchor Chude Jideonwo.

She continued by saying she has never dated a married man and never would.

She said, “I actually wasn’t aware whether or not he was married when we started dating. I am going to stand by it, and that is the gospel truth. I didn’t destroy any marriage. I have ever and will never get involved with a married man.”
