Woman in Anambra Sex Tape Tells Her Side of the Story, Reveals Years of Abuse and Why the Affair Happened

 

A woman at the center of a controversial sex video that went viral in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State has finally shared her version of events, shedding light on a painful marital history marked by violence, abandonment, and a search for love that ended in scandal.

The explicit footage, which took social media by storm, shows a married man and woman — both completely nude — engaged in a sexual act in what appears to be a private room. The man is reportedly a titled chief from Uga town, while the woman, originally from Mbaise in Imo State, resides in Uga with her estranged husband and operates a provision store at Orie Uga market.

The clip’s exposure sparked outrage and widespread condemnation, especially due to the fact that both individuals in the video were married to other people at the time of the recording. But behind the scandal lies a deeper and more complex personal story, one that the woman says has not been told — until now.

According to a credible source familiar with the family, the video was never intended for public consumption. It had been deleted by the woman shortly after it was filmed around August 2022. However, she was unaware that a copy had been automatically stored in a hidden file on her mobile phone.

Trouble began when the woman's daughter, using the phone while her mother traveled to care for another child who had just delivered a baby, stumbled upon the hidden file. Instead of confronting her mother, the young girl forwarded the video to her father. The husband, enraged, distributed the footage across family WhatsApp groups, from where it spread quickly through various community and online platforms.

Speaking anonymously to Legit.ng, the woman opened up about the circumstances that led to the affair and the video. She revealed that she had long separated from her husband by the time the controversial footage was made. Her marriage, she claimed, was plagued by violence, control, and emotional trauma.

“I never had peace since I got married to my ex-husband. It was one beating after another, bullying and molestation. My siblings and children can all testify. Even the daughter who exposed the video knows what I went through,” she said with a calm but pained voice.

She recounted how she would often be thrown out of her home, forced to sleep in friends' houses or return to her father's house, only to be followed and assaulted again. There was no refuge, she said — no space where she felt safe as a wife or as a woman.

The affair with the titled chief, according to her, was born out of a moment of compassion, not lust. One particularly violent episode ended with her being left unconscious after a beating by her husband. It was this same man now caught with her in the video who found her, took her to the hospital, and paid for her treatment.

“I didn’t even know him. He brought me back to life, paid my hospital bills, and walked away. Days later, he came to my shop to check on me. That’s how it all started,” she explained.

She described the man as the first person to show her genuine kindness and love, something she said she never received in her marriage. “People are judging me, but how many of them know what I have suffered? This man brought me joy when I thought it was lost forever.”

The recording, she clarified, was created not for public display but as a personal memento between two people who lived apart and wanted to preserve moments they shared. “It was a memory we made together — not for the world to see. I deleted it, not knowing it was still saved somewhere.”

What hurt her the most, she revealed, wasn’t the backlash from strangers, but the betrayal from her daughter, who found the video and chose to send it to her father instead of addressing the matter directly with her. “I left the phone with her because it was broken. She fixed it and found the video. But why send it to her father? What did she gain from that?” she asked, visibly heartbroken.

Attempts by Legit.ng to reach her former husband for comments were unsuccessful. The woman said she no longer has his contact details and hasn’t spoken to him in a long time.

Her story presents a new layer to the unfolding drama — one that highlights the often hidden emotional and physical abuses many women endure in silence. While the online space continues to buzz with sensationalism over the video, she hopes that her truth will remind the public that there is always more beneath the surface than what a few viral seconds reveal.

As communities in Aguata and beyond continue to discuss the scandal, this woman’s revelations bring to light not just the dangers of digital privacy breaches, but also the enduring scars of domestic violence — and the desperate longing for love and dignity that sometimes comes at a steep price.
