She said returning the N24million paid as her bride price when they married has been difficult.

Linda Ikeji reports that Sonia and Jude have since gone their separate ways, and according to her, it has been challenging to annul their marriage by returning her bride price.

In a chat with Legit.ng, Ighalo's elder brother Steve, disclosed that she remains a member of the family as long as the bride price is yet to be returned.

"Whether she's returning the dowry or not, that's not our business; what's our business is that if she wants to return it, all left for her and the family.

"We have asked our brother to ignore that part of the conversation whenever she's talking on the internet blasting.

"Odion hasn't told us that he has stopped marrying her. He did not tell us they are no longer in a relationship or in marriage
