''Five days ago I made a video saying that my marriage to Austin Faani is over and that video came with a lot of backlash from people with many insinuating that it is a clear case of domestic violence," she said.

"It is not. Austin has never laid his hands on me. He has never even raised his voice at me and God in heaven knows that's the truth."

"Several psychiatrists have come to assess me mentally and I have been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. Bipolar is real. Here in Africa, we tend to not know about it due to ignore or overlook it. I cannot tell you all how I have been feeling in these tiny videos I have been making but I will however show you in motion pictures soon."

Eke's statement is coming days after she released a video online where she surprisingly ended her 7-year-old marriage to Faani.
