@freechoicetv: Court Ends Journalist Best Orato’s 12-Year Marriage, Grants Her Custody of Three Children After 12 years of marriage, a High Court in Benin has officially dissolved the union between journalist and media entrepreneur Best Mbiere, popularly known as Best Orato, and her estranged husband, Michael Mbiere. The court ruled that the marriage had suffered an irretrievable breakdown, meaning the relationship had reached a point where reconciliation was no longer possible. In its judgment, the court awarded full custody of the couple’s three children to Best Orato. The court also ordered Michael Mbiere to refund ₦21.5 million, which was reportedly used to settle debts linked to fraud allegations involving his former employer. The ruling brings an end to a marriage that lasted more than a decade and has drawn significant public attention because of the couple’s public profile and the financial issues raised during the legal proceedings. The case has generated widespread reactions on social media, with many people sharing different opinions on marriage, divorce, parenting, and financial responsibility. While some have expressed support for the court’s decision, others believe every story has two sides.#edostate #goviral #marriage #freechoicetv #trending VC:ITV
