‘My ex-wife parents compelled me to pay them N1m for marrying her a virgin’ – Israel DMW

Israel DMW, the Logistics Manager for singer Davido, has asserted that the parents of his estranged wife, Sheila, compelled him to share the money sprayed at their wedding, as they claimed he married their daughter as a virgin. According to Israel, his former in-laws also forced him to purchase an iPhone 14 Promax worth N1.2 million for their daughter.

In an Instagram post, Israel shared a screenshot of a bank transfer receipt and wrote, “The receipt of [N]1m, part of money sprayed at the wedding. Sheila’s parents held my neck to share with them since their daughter is a virgin. They also compelled me to buy her iPhone 14 Promax [N]1.2m, she’s using.”

This revelation comes after Sheila refuted Israel’s earlier claims that she left the marriage for fame and accused her and her family of being “gold diggers.” Sheila cited domestic violence as the reason for the separation, countering Israel’s narrative. She emphasized that she hails from a well-off family, clarifying that her father and former Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole, are first cousins.

To provide context, Israel and Sheila had a traditional ceremony in Benin City on October 20, 2022, but their marriage faced challenges and eventually ended after eight months, marked by allegations of domestic violence and infidelity from both parties.
