Peggy Ovire Alleges Frederick Leonard Cheating With Married Woman

Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire has accused her estranged husband, Frederick Leonard, of having an affair with a married woman, making the allegation in a social media post.

The actress made the allegations via her Instagram Story on Tuesday, where she posted a video purportedly showing Leonard and the woman she claimed is his lover.

In a series of posts, Ovire urged Leonard to appear before a customary court on June 23, alleging that he had previously failed to attend proceedings related to their divorce case.

“Married woman o, shameless lots, please don’t avoid coming to customary court June 23rd for the second time,” she wrote.

She further claimed that Leonard had requested a divorce but failed to appear in court after being served legal documents.

“You said you wanted a divorce, yet you didn’t show up when you were served. Please don’t avoid customary court for the 2nd time on June 23rd because I’m coming with receipts and let’s make this divorce done and dusted, so both of you can finally be together,” she stated.

Ovire also alleged that the woman involved is married with four children and accused Leonard of denying the relationship publicly despite being aware of the details contained in her court petition.

“So-called traditional Igbo man with another Igbo man’s wife with four children. You ran to a blogger that I was lying, but when you were served and saw details of my petition, you knew I had seen one out of many, yet refused to show up in court but sent your lawyer,” she added.

As of the time of filing this report, Leonard had not publicly responded to the allegations.
