The actress stated: "Never trust the loyalty of a poor man... News reaching me is that Opeyemi the dispatch rider is a married man." She emphasized that her primary anger stems from the disrespect shown to Opeyemi's wife and child, as he publicly professed love to her while denying his family.

Additional reactions included:
- "Married or single since there is no strings attached help him out if u are truly doing it for humanity."
- "They are always single by day and married by night......God bless you endlessly."
- "Don't be surprise that the wife is aware of everything, he might just be looking for ways to escape hardship with his wife and daughter."
Sarah Martins' Continued Generosity Amidst Betrayal
Despite the betrayal, Sarah Martins affirmed that she still plans to provide Opeyemi with the motorcycle that was donated to him, aiming to assist him in better supporting his family. The actress, known for her outspoken nature and frequent social media engagements, highlighted that her actions are driven by a desire to help, even in the face of dishonesty.
This incident adds to Sarah Martins' history of public disclosures, as she has previously spoken about personal matters, such as why she stopped attending church due to unwanted advances from pastors.
