Popular filmmaker and movie director, Jeta Amata has taken to social media to lament over the whereabouts of his ex-wife, Mbong Amata.

Amata took to his Instagram page on Thursday, June 17, 2021 to lament about his ex-wife, Mbong who has been missing from social media since January and has not been in contact with their daughter, Veno, who is worried about the whereabouts of her mum.

“Can somebody please just ask why Mbong has gone missing from social media all year? No one seems to know anything and it’s affecting my daughter,that no one would tell us” he wrote.

“She wants to see her mother. If she is not well, Veno wants to go and be by her side and we need to know to stop worrying”, he wrote.

Mbong and Jeta Amata met in 2001 at an audition in Calabar. Two years later when she was 18 they began dating. They married in 2008 and their daughter Veno was born later that year. In 2013 they separated and in 2014 they divorced.

Mbong Amata cited being married too young as the reason for their divorce. She said “I had dreams and aspirations as a young girl and I had my career ahead of me though I got into marriage at a very young age. At some point one had to give way for the other.”
