Former Super Eagles forward, Kayode Olanrewaju, has slammed a N1 billion suit on UK-based Pastor, Tobi Adegboyega following allegations of fathering his three out of his four kids.
He claimed that the pastor’s alleged affair with his wife, Dora Ezinne Kayode, left him with emotional trauma, financial loss and loss of goodwill.
In a suit marked PET/304/2024, Kayode asked the FCT High Court for an official divorce, citing infidelity, financial misconduct, and a dramatic family fallout.
The football star, in his cross-petition, claimed that since their marriage in 2013, Ezinne has repeatedly committed adultery, including his earlier claim of an ongoing affair with Pastor Adegboyega.
The former Manchester City player also alleged that Ezinne has had similar extra marital affairs with other men, which has made it intolerable for him to continue living with her as husband.
Furthermore, he claimed that his estranged wife diverted significant funds and rental proceeds from properties he purchased, which she is using to sustain her extravagant lifestyle and her alleged relationship with Pastor Adegboyega.
According to the lawsuit, the plot included collusion with Ezinne’s alleged ex-lover, Ugochukwu Igboanugo, who helped her misappropriate property documents.
The footballer mentioned emotional and financial tolls, trauma and losses incurred due to the alleged infidelity, financial misappropriation and misconduct, including the abrupt termination of his international football contract, driven by his need to address the crisis for seeking N1 billion in damages.
While seeking an official divorce, Olanrewaju said he was shocked when he got a credit alert from his father-in-law sometime in May 2024, indicating a refund of the Bride Price paid during their wedding.
He said Dora Ezinne later took to social media to declare herself traditionally free as her bride price was refunded.
Olanrewaju asked the court to dissolve his marriage with Ezinne and grant him custody of their children because his estranged wife could not be a good role model for the children of the marriage. The suit has been adjourned to 24th September 2024 for a hearing.
