Actor Saint Obi's broken marriage had a significant impact on him, and he never fully recovered from the trauma until his passing.

Until his passing, actor Saint Obi never really recovered from his broken marriage, according to the filmmaker Zeb Ejiro.

Recall that Saint Obi died on Sunday, May 7, 2023, after receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment for several months at a hospital in Jos, Plateau State.

Ejiro said the following in an interview with Vanguard on Thursday, May 18: "Two weeks before his demise, my phone rang and it was Saint Obi on the other end. I asked him where he had been; that everybody had been looking for him. That was when he told me that he had been down and was admitted to a hospital. He added that he had done multiple surgeries and his condition wasn't improving. His elder sister then made arrangements to move him to Jos, where he could be given proper treatment.

"That was the last time we spoke, as I promised to reach out to him again. But I never did, as the next thing I heard was that Obi is no more.

"Obi told me a couple of times that his marriage was crumbling and it was eating him up. He was a family man, somebody that loved to stay with his kids and build a happy home.

"But when his marriage crumbled, it really affected him and he never recovered from the shock till death. When a man is not together with his family, he will be depressed. No man wants to go into that kind of situation and be happy. So, that contributed to his death."
