Karen Igho Speaks on Marriage Struggles Amid Divorce

Karen, a former GOTV ambassador, revealed the traumatic experiences she has faced in her marriage to Yaroslav Rakos, whom she wed in 2014. She disclosed that her husband has left her homeless and subjected her to physical and sexual abuse. As they approach their divorce, Karen shared her fears that he intends to take their children from her by claiming she is mentally unfit.

Karen stated:

“I’m going through a divorce with my husband, I have been homeless for a year and I have been hurt sexually and physically so if anything happens, ask or hold the man who brought me to a country where I know no one. He is trying to take children away by saying I’m mentally sick.”

She continued:

“God Almighty bless Nigeria and Africa. My heart prays for your daughter of the soil. I have been through so much this past year, please Africans pray for my children and me. In case you don’t hear from me again, know that I have been killed. I’m not sick mentally and don’t do drugs.”

Karen and Yaroslav were together for nine years before getting married in December 2014 in Jos, Plateau State. Karen gained fame after winning Big Brother Africa in 2011.
