Jude Ighalo’s estranged wife, Sonia, has continued to generate headlines as she insists on returning the bride price from their marriage. Despite previously suggesting she would let bygones be bygones, Sonia recently reignited the controversy, publicly asking the footballer to make arrangements to collect the bride price he paid. She claims that her father was the sole sponsor of their traditional wedding and expressed frustration over what she perceived as disrespect from Ighalo’s family.
Sonia explained that she had organized a farewell party years ago for Ighalo’s family to collect the bride price, but they failed to attend. This has led to her renewed demand, where she sarcastically called for Ighalo to send representatives to finalize the separation. Sonia’s latest move follows an earlier period where she apologized to Ighalo, but the peace was short-lived after he made subtle comments urging her to move on.
The drama has unfolded publicly, with both parties exchanging jabs on social media.
