Riches Sammy, Nigerian businessman, filmmaker and husband of actress Nkiru Sylvanus, has responded to online speculation about his wife’s health, warning against what he described as misleading comments about their marriage.
Some social media users reacted to a viral photo and video of Nkiru, claiming she looked unhealthy, unhappy or that her marriage had deteriorated.
Responding, the Japan-based businessman said the circulating image did not accurately represent his wife’s appearance and warned that he would no longer tolerate such comments.
He said: “A picture and a video which do not represent what my wife looks like are currently circulating online. I might choose to overlook that and all the comments that have been made.
“But what I will not tolerate is anyone making a derogatory post or a misleading caption about my marriage. I will not tolerate that. I will take legal action. Be warned.”
The filmmaker, who keeps a relatively low profile, shared the warning on his Instagram account, urging online trolls to stop making negative comments about his family.
