“Why I Ran Away From My Family, Changed My Identity” – Actress Chacha Eke Recounts Terrifying Episode
Popular Nollywood actress, Chacha Eke Faani, has shared her experience of a horrific “manic episode” she went through a year ago.
The talented actress – who recently celebrated her 10th wedding anniversary with her husband, Austin Faani – opened up about her mental health struggles in an Instagram post on Friday, June 2.
She revealed that she had her scariest episode around this time last year when she woke up at 3 am and felt unsafe at home.
Chacha Eke revealed that she was given a fake ID in a desperate attempt to run away from home during the manic episode, which she says lasted for months.
In her story, Chacha Eke revealed that she walked to a parking lot in Asaba at 3 am and then drove to Lagos. She spent days wandering the streets, hotels, and beaches of Lagos. Eventually, she used the fake ID to travel to Ghana by boat.
Luckily, with the help of an employee named Esther from First Bank Plc in Ghana, Chacha Eke was able to regain her memory. Esther recognized her and helped her remember her true identity and home.
Read her full story below,
“Slide 1 photo was me by this time last year-1st June 2022. I was in the middle of a manic episode that lingered for months. One day, I woke at 3am feeling unsafe and ran vigorously to a nearby motor park. I travelled to Lagos from Asaba like a fugitive.
Loitered the streets/hotels and beaches in Lagos for days. It was a rough blend of schizophrenia, depression, identity crisis and bipolar disorders. Using this “made-up” Identity card of me from one of my imaginary companies; I headed for Ghana by boat. Clad in black jalabia, I kept moving. I passed border after border; terrified & unrecognized.
In that moment, I was a “Drifter”. It was at First bank in Ghana through a lovely bank staff named “Esther” that somehow, I remembered me. I remembered home. Esther was an Angel the universe used to open my eyes to the reality I disconnected from. I began to make my way back home. It took days but I returned, albeit sickly & in denial. One year later, l’m thankful to have survived one of my craziest episodes ever recorded.”
