' Ilesanmi 'walked for about five hours' away from Deem's Hazlehurst, GA home and 'almost got bitten by a dog' in the process, but he was able to reach 'one or two of my friends' after 'begging a man' to use his phone. All in all, it took the aspiring influencer - who's now said to be happily living with friends in Texas - 'about 18 hours' to finally reach his current residence via bus. Michael famously met the self-proclaimed 'Queen of Reality' on Facebook in 2017 before marrying in 2020, but they were long-distance loves until he finally received a US visa and moved to Georgia last December.
'I'm here for the right reason, of course, yes, from the bottom of my heart, I'm here for the right reason, you know, but unfortunately, what I was expecting wasn't what I met, you know,' Ilesanmi continued. 'I just want to move on with my life. Enough is enough.
I mean, no one deserves to be treated this way. And I mean, I want the best for us, for myself, but it's just so unfortunate. I can't just take it anymore.
' At the end of the clip, Angela threatened: 'I'll see you soon Michael. In a plane or a courtroom.' Indeed, the Florida-born blonde filed to annul their marriage in a Georgia court on June 20 on the grounds of being 'fraudulently induced in a conspiracy with other Nigerian men to induce US citizens into marriage for the purpose of gaining legal permanent resident status.
