Empress Njamah’s Lover-Turned-Blackmailer Arrested in Liberia

George Wade, the ex-lover of Nollywood actress Empress Njamah, has been arrested in Liberia, according to an Instagram story shared by the actress on Monday. Wade was apprehended after months of eluding authorities and was taken into custody for his role in blackmailing the actress.

Empress Njamah had accused Wade of domestic abuse and blackmail following their tumultuous relationship. In December of the previous year, the actress disclosed that the engagement video she had posted on her personal page earlier that month was made under duress. She further revealed that she had been a victim of scams and physical abuse and had been held hostage by Wade before finally managing to escape from the situation.

“He wrecked me, finished everything,” she said. “This person I’m telling you actually got a ring and forced me to do a video, which he posted on my page because he has access to my page. He changed all the passwords, logged me out of every email I have, everything I have, all my phones, my iCloud, everything, I don’t have access to anything, I don’t mind.”

Despite her escape from the abusive relationship, George Wade continued to pose a threat to Empress Njamah. Shockingly, he took it to another level by leaking her intimate and private pictures and videos through a WhatsApp group chat, to which he added blogs and multiple individuals.

This gross violation of her privacy added to the distress and harm that Njamah had already experienced at the hands of Wade. The Actors’ Guild of Nigeria subsequently released a statement calling for Wade’s arrest.

Njamah was elated with the news of his arrest and shared a video on her Instagram story showing Wade being escorted in handcuffs. “Our God is not asleep, @empressnjamah’s blackmailer is finally caught in Liberia,” the caption read.

The arrest of George Wade marks a significant victory for Empress Njamah and her supporters, who have been advocating for justice and an end to violence against women. In recent years, there has been growing awareness about the prevalence of domestic abuse and blackmail in Nigeria and other countries in Africa.

Many advocates have called for stronger legal protections for women and harsher penalties for those who engage in abusive and criminal behavior. They have also emphasized the importance of education and awareness-raising campaigns to help women recognize and avoid abusive situations.

The case of Empress Njamah and George Wade underscores the urgent need for action and reform in this area. The actress has bravely spoken out about her experiences and has become an inspiration to many women who have suffered in silence.

As the fight against domestic abuse and blackmail continues, we must all do our part to support survivors, raise awareness, and demand justice. Only by working together can we create a safer and more equitable world for all.
