Ghanaian gospel singer, Eric Oduro, better known as Erico has recently detailed the reason for divorcing his ex-wife.
The crooner, in an interview with Emelia Brobbey on Adom TV‘s Okukuseku show, disclosed a painful experience of witnessing his ex-wife (then his wife) sending intimate photos to her lover in Dubai, right in his presence.
According to him, he lost all trust for his ex-wife after he caught her sharing the nude photos to her lover while he was on his sick bed battling kidney disease.

Narrating the unfortunate incident, the ‘Twen Nyame’ hitmaker, explained that their issues began after he was diagnosed with kidney disease, which led him to fabricate a story that he had only 5 months to live, in a bid to test his wife’s loyalty.
In reality, he had rather been assured of a six-month window for recovery.
Initially, Erico admitted his wife appeared supportive, but over time, her actions took a drastic turn.
His heartbreak came on a fateful night when he pretended to be asleep, only to overhear the sound of a camera clicking. Upon opening his eyes, he was shocked to see his wife stark naked, sending explicit photos to her lover in Dubai.
“I was on the bed pretending to be asleep and she was on the couch. I heard the camera clicking multiple times and I thought she was taking photos of me in my vulnerable state.
”However, when I turned, I realized she was naked and sending the photos to a man whom she was talking to on the phone. I heard her tell him that if ‘he was lusting over her photos, he should wait till she shows him proper bedmatics,” he narrated.
The singer, who rose to fame during his time as a contestant at TV3’s Mentor show noted that what hurt him the most was hearing his ex-wife assure her Dubai lover that she will marry him as soon as she is widowed, as she thought he had just few months to live.’
However, after confronting her about the incident, Erico decided to prioritize his health and walked out of their matrimonial home and marriage and moved back to Kumasi the very next morning.
He has since gone on to make a full recovery and he said he is now fully focused on his gospel ministry.
