Details of Actor Saint Obi and wife, Lynda Amobi’s Messy Divorce

Saint Obi, a Nollywood actor who is now late was in his last days on earth locked in a messy divorce with his then estranged wife, Lynda Amobi, ENigeria Newspaper reports.

Saint Obi was the one who started the divorce procedure, according to a document seen by ENigeria Newspaper, while his wife, Lynda Amobi, appears to be sabotaging the process.

According to ENigeria Newspaper sources, Lynda Amobi has repeatedly failed to appear in court when the case was called up, causing the Judge, Justice Omotayo O. Majekodunmi, to issue a bench warrant for her arrest.

Ms. Lynda Amobi (previously Lynda Saint-Nwafor), an MTN Nigeria executive, and actor Saint Obi (Obinna Nwafor) married in a lavish ceremony in December 2006 in the former’s homeland of Anambra, and the couple has three gorgeous children: two boys and a girl.
Before now Saint Obi and Lynda Amobi had managed their marital affairs discreetly without public attention how then did the camel’s back broke? that’s the question many of their mutual friends are asking.

Why Saint Obi is divorcing Lynda Amobi

The divorce was filed on the basis of an alleged attempt on the actor’s life, which was reportedly orchestrated by his now estranged wife and her brothers, Michael Amobi and Chukwumobi Amobi, in a suit filed at the High Court of Ogun State with suit number HCT/128/2019 filed by Petitioner, Mr. Saint Obi.

Also, according to ENigeria Newspaper sources, Ms. Lynda Amobi has allegedly “imprisoned” the children of the problematic marriage by hiring Mobile Police officers to protect them without the father’s permission and therefore preventing her ex-husband access to their children.

Meanwhile, Saint Obi, who left the movie industry years ago to pursue a different career, is no stranger to divorce controversies, as the actor’s first marriage to the daughter of a Lagos pastor ended in divorce years ago (before the social media era), with the divorce process making headlines across the country, may be in for another round of controversy.
