The wife of Delta State content creator, Ifeanyi Ogbonna, popularly known as Odogwu of Asaba, has said her husband had an affair with 20-year-old Favour Agbro but did not rape her.
The woman, whose name was not disclosed, made this known in a video posted on her husband’s page on Wednesday, saying she would continue to stand by him despite the allegations against him.
The Delta State Police Command had arrested Ogbonna, 40, over the alleged rape of Favour, who later died after ingesting a toxic substance.
The police alleged that Ogbonna invited Favour to Asaba under the guise of teaching her content creation before taking her to a hotel, where he allegedly raped and physically assaulted her.
However, speaking in the video, Ogbonna’s wife rejected the rape allegation.
“Odogwu Asaba did not kill anybody. I know my husband…. Odogwu Asaba did not rape Favour. Odogwu Asaba only had an affair with the girl,” she said.
She added, “He cannot rape, he has never. Even when he did not have fame, he did not rape anybody, is it now?”
The woman said she had been following developments surrounding the case and decided to speak after learning more about it.
“I am trying to follow the matter the right way; I have not been silent. I want to let you people know that no matter what happened, he is my husband and I stand with him 100%. I’m not going to turn my back on him,” she said.
She also urged people not to rely on social media discussions as the final word on the case.
“How I feel, what I feel, how I see it is my personal decision. Everything is not actually the way they presented it. Before I could come out to talk, I have learnt a lot about this matter. Social media is not a courtroom. You people should bear that in mind,” she said.
The woman also acknowledged Favour’s death, saying it was one of the reasons she had been careful about speaking on the matter.
“Yes, someone has died and that is why we are taking it easy. But Odogwu Asaba did not kill anybody,” she said.
She added that Ogbonna would have the opportunity to give his own account of what happened when he returns.
The woman said she had been married to Ogbonna for eight years and that they have four children together.
The police had earlier said Favour travelled to Asaba on June 1, 2026, after Ogbonna allegedly offered to teach her how to monetise her TikTok and Facebook pages through content creation.
According to the police, Favour later returned home distressed and told her parents about the alleged incident before recording a video about her ordeal.
She later ingested a toxic substance and died while receiving treatment.
The police said Ogbonna was arrested after the deceased’s family submitted a petition and that investigations were ongoing.
The command later said Ogbonna would be charged to court.
Ogbonna has not been convicted of any offence, and the rape allegation remains subject to investigation and determination through the appropriate legal process.
