Frank Edoho Confirms Separation
Reacting to the reports, Frank Edoho, who was previously married to broadcaster Katherine Obiang, told his fans that he has been separated for the past two years. In a statement on Instagram, he wrote: 'Over the past few days, I've received an outpouring of kind messages, prayers, concern, and goodwill regarding my separation and ongoing divorce proceedings. I truly appreciate the empathy. While I understand that the public is only just becoming aware of this chapter, I have lived through it privately for quite some time now (almost 2 years) and have since made peace with it emotionally.'
According to him, life unfolds in different seasons, and sometimes moving forward quietly is the most dignified path. 'I am well. Focused. At peace, and deeply grateful for the love, respect, and support so many of you continue to show me. Thank you kindly,' he added.
