Ikechukwu Onyeanyusi, husband of Anulika Onyeanusia, has spoken about the moment he learned of allegations that his wife used a sex toy on their underage daughter. He said a friend showed him a video on Thursday evening while he was returning from his business, revealing what appeared to be his wife engaging in the act. Onyeanyusi stated he had not seen the video circulating online before being shown it privately. In a statement shared Saturday via the Anambra State Ministry of Women and Social Welfare's Facebook page, he described his initial disbelief, saying, "I got a kind of confused and 'What is this? What is happening? Could this be true?'" His friend urged him to stay calm before he confronted his wife.
Onyeanyusi recounted asking his wife about the footage, to which she denied the incident and claimed the video was created using artificial intelligence. He said he questioned how she could deny something he had seen, but she maintained it was AI-generated. He later returned to his friend to ask if such a video could realistically be faked. Shortly afterward, police arrived at their Onitsha residence, conducted a search, and arrested Anulika Onyeanusia. During questioning at the station, Onyeanyusi said she admitted to the act in front of the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), confirming she had not informed her husband. He described feeling physically weakened upon hearing her confession, saying, "I got weak. I got tired. How come this kind of a thing can happen?" Police confirmed the arrest took place on September 10 following open-source intelligence on a viral video. Four children, aged two, three, six and nine, were rescued during the operation. Sex toys and other items were recovered. The suspect remains in custody as investigations continue.
The wife first denied the video was real, then admitted the act in police custody—raising questions about why she believed AI could explain it away. Her claim may test public trust in digital evidence, especially as deepfakes grow more common. Yet her eventual admission leaves little room for doubt about her responsibility.
