Sandra Onyenucheya, the estranged second wife of popular television host Frank Edoho, has opened a fresh and explosive chapter in their public marital crisis after releasing what she titled “Surviving Frank Edoho,” a multi-slide Instagram statement in which she rejected claims that she was an unfaithful wife and instead accused the broadcaster of years of alleged cheating, abuse, humiliation, financial exploitation and neglect.
MJConcept TV News reports that the statement came amid the continuing divorce drama between the couple, following earlier claims by Frank that Sandra was involved in alleged infidelity, including with singer Chike. Sandra, an interior designer known on Instagram as @vivabella_designs, insisted that she would not allow herself to be branded “an unfaithful wife,” “prostitute,” or “ashewo” without telling her own side of the story.
In the lengthy statement, Sandra portrayed herself as a faithful and supportive wife who, according to her, loved Frank deeply against the wishes of her family. She claimed that Frank often praised her publicly and privately, but behind the scenes, allegedly subjected her to emotional trauma, humiliation, physical abuse and serial infidelity.

“Frank, you must come to equity with clean hands,” she wrote, insisting that he must acknowledge how their marriage got to its present state.
Sandra alleged that she was “constantly humiliated, physically abused and traumatised,” adding that she had attached picture evidence of bruises. The Instablog post reportedly included a collage of injuries, including dark marks around parts of the body and a cut on her hand or finger, which she presented as evidence of domestic violence. She also hinted that videos existed but said she was keeping them aside for now.
She further claimed that she had access to Frank’s passwords for months and allegedly discovered evidence of affairs, hotel visits, payments, lounges, bars and alleged hookups with women. According to her, one of the women was someone Frank allegedly jogged with early in the morning within their estate, while she was allegedly prevented from joining him.
Sandra also alleged that she had access to his computer and bank records, through which she claimed she traced movements from lounges and hotels to alleged dates and payments to women. She mentioned Delborough Hotel and also accused Frank of using their shared office to meet women, alleging that his married manager, (name withheld), brought girls to the office under the cover that they were “marketers.”
She wrote that she repeatedly found cheap lip glosses, earrings and hair brushes after Frank’s nights out, but claimed he dismissed them as items belonging to his manager’s girlfriend.
In one of the more sensational claims, Sandra alleged that she was single-handedly paying off a Range Rover car loan, while also accusing Frank of selling one of her properties, which she said she bought with her hard-earned money, “for peanuts” because he was allegedly desperate to fund “dirty December.” She claimed that the kitchen alone in the property cost almost the amount for which the house was sold.
Sandra also accused Frank of breaching her privacy by secretly recording her and releasing private audio to the public. She described that action as ironic, claiming she also had tapes and other materials allegedly involving him, including conversations with side chicks and private pictures connected to a blackmail attempt after he was allegedly catfished by a woman online.
According to Sandra, she stood by him during the blackmail attempt and told the blackmailers to “go to hell and do their worst,” after which Frank allegedly thanked her for protecting him.
She also claimed she once caught him at Boho with two prostitutes in the company of Ihi Nj**ze, adding that the women did not know she was Frank’s wife and allegedly attempted to confront her and her cousin. She claimed the alleged hookups involved women charging N100,000, N80,000 and N50,000.
Sandra further accused Frank of failing to provide for their children, alleging that he neither feeds nor cares for them and does not pick their calls. She also claimed she helped him make peace with children from his previous marriage.
In another disturbing allegation, Sandra claimed Frank once held a dumbbell and threatened to smash her face, allegedly saying he would destroy her beauty so that no man would ever look at her again. She said when he allegedly threatened to kill her at night, she took it as the signal to leave and never return.
Sandra also dragged Frank’s family into the matter, claiming that his sister, once admitted that she could never marry a man like her brother and was shocked that Sandra had covered up for him for years.
She also referenced Frank’s appearance on the “Tea With Tay” podcast, where he allegedly said he had found his soulmate. Sandra said she was happy for him because she hoped it meant he would “commot eye” from her body. She also mentioned (name withheld) alleging that Frank and the married woman had been publicly posting each other, attending events together, using affectionate names and even wearing matching outfits.
According to Sandra, the married woman later moved into the home, kept her clothes in Sandra’s closet and slept on her matrimonial bed, yet she said she still kept quiet.
Despite the bitterness of the allegations, Sandra said she felt sad speaking publicly about a man she once loved, but insisted she had to do so for the sake of her children, who may one day need to understand their mother’s side of the story if they are bullied by online publications.
She also used the statement to speak broadly about women trapped in unhappy marriages, saying society’s mentality that men and marriage are the ultimate prize keeps many women in “shackles of sadness.”
Sandra said women must hold themselves in higher esteem and understand that happiness and peace matter more than staying in a relationship that drains them.
She lamented that she had lived a private life for years and never imagined she would be forced to explain herself publicly amid online debates, skits and AI videos. According to her, many people did not even know her as Frank Edoho’s wife because she deliberately protected her privacy.
“Well now you know me as his EX,” she wrote, before ending the statement by saying she was returning to what she knows how to do best: designing exclusive homes around the world.
The fresh allegations have further inflamed public debate around the Edoho marriage crisis, with Nigerians divided across social media. While some users focused on the domestic violence claims and insisted that abuse should never be excused, others argued that the couple’s dispute had exposed too much private information to the public.
Frank Edoho had yet to issue a direct public response to Sandra’s latest allegations at the time of this report.
