Precious Chikwendu, the estranged wife of Femi Fani-Kayode,
former minister of aviation, has accused him of exposing their four children to
“indecency” and depriving them of proper care.
Fani-Kayode and Chikwendu’s marriage hit the rock in 2020
over her domestic violence claim and the ex-minister’s counter-claim of
infidelity.
They have been in a heated tussle for the custody of their
children — Aragorn, Ragnar, Aiden, and Liam — since the marriage crashed.
In March, Chikwendu had approached a high court sitting in the federal capital territory (FCT) to seek custody of her children — with the court ruling in her favour.
But Fani-Kayode had faulted the ruling of the high court —
delivered by Sylvanus Oriji, the judge.
The former minister had thereafter approached the Abuja
judicial division of the federal court of appeal to challenge the judgement of
the high court.
In his motion of appeal, he had argued that the high court
lacked the jurisdiction and also denied him fair hearing in the case.
Reacting to the Fani-Kayode’s appeal in a court document, Chikwendu argued that he is unfit to be in custody of
the their children.
Buttressing her point, Chikwendu cited the former minister’s
penchant for traveling, adding that he is not always available to attend to
their children.
She also alleged that she had received reports that her
children are being subjected to alleged “inhuman treatment” by the women taking
care of them.
“That my children have been exposed to various women of all
sorts as the appellant displays different women before my children in awkward
and uncompromising positions thus exposing them to indecency,” she said in her
motion of appeal.
“That within this
period of my absence, I have received reports of severe, brutish and inhuman
treatment meted to them by various women whom the appellant has allowed access
to them.
“That my children are of very tender age and need adequate
attention from their mother and sound moral upbringing.
“That I am worried about my children’s education status as
my first son was stopped from going to school since August 2020 and the
triplets who are due for school are not in school or given an education access.
“That I am in the position to understand my four children
and cater for them better as the appellant is always busy and does not have the
adequate time required to nurture my four children.”
She also prayed the court to grant her interim access to her
children pending the hearing and determination of the appeal.
Chikwendu alleged that should there be further delay in
granting her application, the former minister, “may make good his threat of
relocating my four children out of the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court
and/or out of Nigeria to a location in which I will be denied a chance of ever
seeing them again.”
Precious let us face it. No man can keep an adulterous woman as wife if FFK allegation of adultery is true.
ReplyDeleteYou should have thought of the consequences of your actions before committing the act of what your husband allegedly said about you.
I pray God will settle the matter
Any sane person will know that FFK is a liar. How many times has he married and they've all left him even after Precious left, he's ben in like two open relationships and they've ended in tears. FFK is a woman beater and was the adulterer in this marriage
ReplyDeleteIts a marital issue but you as a woman should understand that once you leave your husband house in Nigeria ,it means the man can decide if he want u to see the kids again or not ,the culture here is that men own the kids is different from oyinbo culture. FFK as an africa and Nigeria man can have many relationship if one is not working for me and never a sin, finally i think so young ladies and women outhere will learn from what happened to precious
