Miss Nigeria 2013, Ezinne Akudo, has denied ever being married to former Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike.

Speculations had been around since 2018 that she was once married to Emenike, who later divorced her to marry Iheoma Nnadi, Miss Nigeria 2014.

Addressing the rumours when she appeared on the podcast ‘BeyondWithezine’, Akudo described the claims as “a lie from the pit of hell”.

“I have actually never addressed that, but I have never been married. I have never been divorced. That is why I am shocked. I have never met the person in question,” she said.

She revealed that she's friends with Emenike's wife, adding that she also attended their wedding, which was the only time she ever saw the former footballer.

“I have seen the person because I was at the person’s wedding. I knew his wife. So, the whole ‘this footballer married Miss Nigeria 2013 and married Miss Nigeria 2014’ is not true,” she said.

“In fact, the first time the story broke out, I thought it was a joke. And then it died a little bit. And it feels like it is every two years.

“It has gone on for years now. The reason I ignored it was that I thought it was just going to go like others. I just thought it does not deserve my attention. It was a lie from the pit of hell.”
