Popular comedian, Bright Okpocha (well known as Basketmouth) has urged his fans to respect their privacy following the break up of his 12-year marriage to Elsie.
The 44-year-old had earlier on Thursday announced the end of his marriage to Elsie through his Facebook.
The couple have three children – Janelle, Jason and Maya.
Basketmouth said that he and his wife would continue to take care of their children with “all care, love and guidance”.
He wrote: “As much as it pains me to bring my personnel life to the public space, this is an unavoidable situation.
“After much deliberations, my wife and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage.
“As we move forward separately, we will continue to work together to give our beautiful children all the care, love guidance and support they need.
“We humbly ask that you respect our privacy as we navigate through these times.
