The video was released by Sahara Reporters and shows him engaging in an argument with Chikwendu before he rushes towards her and a struggle can be heard.
Just before the video ends, the former minister can be heard calling out to someone.
Now, he has taken to Instagram to react to the video. He shared that he was not abusing her but trying to take the phone from her as she was recording him.
He also claimed that Chikwendu was caught with a married man days earlier, something that had caused untold conflict in the home.
He wrote: “@SaharaReporters posted a video which supposedly depicts me ABUSING my estranged wife.This is nothing but a propaganda video.There was NO physical abuse.I simply took the phone from her to stop her from recording me after catching her in bed with a married man days earlier.
“I repeat there was NO physical abuse whatsoever and she had been insulting and subjecting everybody, including family members, staff and children, to PHYSICAL and VERBAL abuse the whole day. As usual, it was a nightmare!
“My words in the video are self explanatory. I urge those thet watched it to listen to those words carefully. I told her that everyone wanted peace except for her and all she did was indulge in scandal after scandal. I have NEVER physically abused my estranged wife.”
