Popular Nollywood actress Etinosa Idemudia has narrated how her estranged husband once tortured her to confess if she was cheating on him.

She said he tied her up and plunged her head into water in the night, threatening her to confess.

The thespian opened up on her brutal experience of domestic violence during her stint in marriage in a recent chat with media personality Chude Jideonwo.

She said she was hospitalized and placed on oxygen supplementation after the torture.

Idemudia said, “I was green; I didn't know anything. I was a mumu. I was 22 when I got married. My husband told me, I’m not your friend; I’m your lord’.

“His [my ex-husband’s] uncle called me when I was in the clinic. I was receiving treatment because the night before, they tied me up. I went through a lot the night before. So, I just said this is the end before I die. I fasted. Ulcers nearly killed me. Fasting, praying.

“See all those CIA films where they put a person's head inside a bowl of water and torture you because they want to hear the truth whether you are cheating or not?”

The host, Jideonwo, asked, “So there was physical violence?”

Idemudia responded: “Wetin dey break a person's bone? Wetin dey carry a person to the hospital, wey dem put oxygen in your nose?

“As tall as you are now, he [my ex-husband] is very... I don’t like short men. I like big people; I want to feel protected [laughs]. So, that kind of blow like this If he slaps Sef, Shu!”

She said she later reported her ex-husband to the authorities after she got fed up with his abuses.
