Nollywood Shock: Akin Olaiya’s Marriage Crashes Just Months After Wedding

ValidViewNetwork reports that the sudden collapse of popular Nollywood actor Akin Olaiya’s marriage to Nafeesat Feenah Hammed has sparked widespread reactions across social media platforms. The couple, who tied the knot less than a year ago, have officially parted ways following a formal announcement by the actor. According to the actor, his wife abruptly left their matrimonial home after a brief disagreement and has steadfastly rejected all attempts at reconciliation, ValidViewNetwork reports.

​The union, which began with high hopes, was solemnized on June 29, 2025, at the Central Mosque, Sabo, Mokola, Ibadan, in the presence of both families. Trouble reportedly began a few months later when the couple was scheduled to attend an event together in Lagos, but Nafeesat expressed a sudden lack of interest. Before the actor returned home that day, she had packed all her belongings and departed without any prior notice, ValidViewNetwork reports.

​ValidViewNetwork reports that the actor exhausted multiple avenues to save the union before making the public declaration. “After she left, I made several attempts to reach out to her personally and also visited members of her family to resolve the issue peacefully and restore the marriage,” Olaiya stated. Despite these repeated interventions, his wife consistently maintained that she was no longer interested in continuing the relationship. Consequently, the actor issued a formal letter of dissolution, stating, “Based on her decision and continuous refusal to return or reconcile, I hereby declare that Nafisat Feenah Hammed is no longer my wife henceforth, and the marriage relationship between us is hereby considered dissolved from my end.”

While neither Nafeesat nor her representatives have publicly responded to these claims, the unfolding situation highlights the intense public scrutiny that follows the personal lives of prominent entertainers, leaving fans deeply surprised by the swift end to a marriage that began so vibrantly.
