LIBERIA – George Wade, the ex-lover of Nollywood actress Empress Njamah, has been arrested in Liberia on charges of blackmail and domestic abuse.
The actress announced the news on her Instagram stories on Monday, April 24, 2023, sharing a video originally shared by the Instagram user may8gallery. The video shows Wade being led away in handcuffs with the caption, “Our God is not asleep, @empressnjamah’s blackmailer finally caught in Liberia.”
The video did not saw where the arrest occurred in Liberia or when he was arrested and for or why he has been arrested.
Empress Njamah had previously accused Wade of domestic abuse and blackmail after their relationship ended on a sour note.
In a livestream shared via her business page in December, the actress revealed that an engagement video posted on her personal page earlier that month had been made under duress.
She also disclosed that she had been scammed, beaten, and held hostage by Wade before managing to escape.
In the video, Empress recounted the harrowing ordeal saying, “He wrecked me, finished everything. 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.”
She went on to describe her escape. “I’m alive to tell you the story, I was able to run that night, I ran into the street, not minding who or how, I fell into a gutter. I was able to see a mallam to ask for a phone. I called my brother and he picked me from the hospital, and the following morning, took me home.”
Despite her escape, Wade continued to threaten the actress and eventually leaked her nude pictures and videos through a WhatsApp group chat, adding blogs and several people to the conversation.
