Close family members of former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, have disclosed that his wife, Iara Fortes, has been struggling with depression.

The cause, according to insiders, is the ex-governor’s alleged controlling and narcissistic behaviour, which has put immense strain on their marriage.

Iara Fortes, who married Oshiomhole in 2015, has maintained a low profile since their marriage, often seen only at official functions or in the background during political events. However, it now appears that behind the scenes, she has been enduring emotional turmoil.

“There is always tension between them because the man is so controlling and doesn’t give her breathing space,” revealed a family member who requested anonymity.

“It’s like she’s living in a gilded cage—beautiful on the outside, but incredibly restrictive on the inside,” she said.

The couple’s relationship, which was once the subject of public fascination, especially given the age difference and their high-profile wedding, has reportedly been deteriorating.

Insiders say that Oshiomhole’s authoritarian demeanour has been a major factor in Iara’s declining mental health.

“He has always been very demanding, not just politically but personally. He likes things to be done his way and expects everyone, including Iara, to fall in line,” a close relative of Iara shared.

“At first, she tried to keep up, but over time, it became too much. The constant pressure has taken a toll on her,” the relative lamented.

According to another source within the family, Iara’s depression has become a serious concern.

“She’s been suffering in silence for years. The public sees a smiling, supportive wife, but they have no idea what she’s going through behind closed doors. It’s heartbreaking.

“Oshiomhole is a man who believes he knows best, and he expects everyone to follow suit. This attitude extends into his marriage, where he often dismisses Iara’s feelings and concerns. He has a way of making her feel insignificant, which has deeply affected her mental health.”

The insider further explained that Iara has been reluctant to speak out about her struggles due to the stigma surrounding mental health and the fear of public backlash.

“She’s afraid that if she says anything, it will be used against her. She’s in a very vulnerable position,” she said.

Members of Iara’s family are reportedly urging Oshiomhole to reconsider his approach and seek professional help for his wife.

“We are really worried about her. She needs support, not just from professionals but also from her husband. She needs to be treated with kindness and respect, not controlled and manipulated.

“This isn’t about politics; it’s about a woman’s well-being. We hope that by bringing this to light, it will prompt him to reflect on his behaviour and make the necessary changes. Iara deserves to be happy and healthy.”

#Endbadgovernance Protesters Face Trial For Treason, Court Hearing On September 11

Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the remand of 10 #EndBadGovernance protesters in custody.

On Monday, nine male protesters were sent to Kuje Prison, while one female protester was remanded in Suleja Prison. The court has scheduled their trial and ruling on bail applications for September 11.

The protesters, who were arraigned on charges of treason, mutiny, and intent to destabilize Nigeria, include Michael Adaramoye (also known as Lenin), Adeyemi Abayomi, Suleiman Yakubu, Opaoluwa Simon, and Angel Innocent.

Others facing charges are Buhari Lawal, Mosiu Sadiq, Bashir Bello, Nuradeen Khamis, and Abdulsalam Zubairu. All 10 defendants pleaded not guilty to the six charges brought against them, which include conspiracy to commit felony, inciting mutiny, and waging war against the state—offenses punishable under Section 97 of the Penal Code.

The protesters are accused of attempting to intimidate President Bola Tinubu by allegedly attacking police officers, burning police stations, and damaging government and private property during the demonstrations.

The #EndBadGovernance protests, which took place from August 1 to 10, were sparked by widespread dissatisfaction with the government’s economic policies, including the removal of the petrol subsidy and the unification of forex windows.

The protesters also called for measures to address food shortages, unemployment, and government waste, as well as reforms of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Responding to the arraignment, Amnesty International Nigeria Director Isa Sanusi condemned the trials as “sham” and called for the immediate release of the detained protesters.Sanusi criticized the government for prioritizing the punishment of protesters over investigating the deaths of several demonstrators across various states, including Kano, Katsina, and Maiduguri, during the protests.

The police reported seven deaths related to the protests but denied that security forces were responsible for any of the fatalities.
