Ghanaian actor Chris Attoh has finally broken his silence on his alleged involvement in the murder of his second wife, Bettie Jennifer.
The actor did this in a recent interview with Ghanaian media personality, Zion Felix. He revealed that he was never considered a prime suspect in Jennifer’s death. He stated,
“I’ll take this opportunity to state unequivocally that I was never a suspect in Bettie’s death. Never will I be. Bettie was one of my favourite people. And, while it’s natural for law authorities to speak with loved ones and close relatives in such circumstances, you should avoid being labelled as a suspect. If I did anything, I’m not going to be here. Let me state unequivocally that I have never been a suspect in that case.”
He further revealed the reason he has remained quiet about the murder of his wife. He said,
“To tell you the truth, I’m a very private person. And if I didn’t do what I did, I’d be the most silent person in the room. Because I enjoy observing people and have nothing to prove to them. Who am I supposed to answer to, after all? And I’ve learned from my prior sins of oversharing that those who love me are affected,” he said.
The actor tied the knot with his late wife in 2018. She was shot dead at her office in 2019 and the police have not found the culprit since then.
Attoh reportedly remarried in 2021 to a US-based investment banker, Chinecherem Eze in a secret court wedding in California. This is his third marriage as he was previously married to Nollywood actress, Damilola Adegbite.
