| Ijeoma & Kalu Ikeagwu. |
This marriage between Nollywood Actor, Kalu Ikeagwu, like other Nollywood marriages had crashed long time ago, but the actor on Monday, he told an Ikeja High Court about the relationship with his estranged wife, Ijeoma, where he revealed in the suit marked LD/8939HD/2021, where he is seeking a dissolution of his six-year-old marriage to Ijeoma Ikeagwu.
Apart from the disillusion of the marriage, the actor is also seeking full custody of his three-year-old son and 10-year-old step-daughter, claiming that his wife packed out of his matrimonial and sent him a mail that she was on her way to her father’s house in Enugu, which went contrary to her claim in her mail to him, as she was seen at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport with the children after some days.
He told the court that he
tried to contact her when he got to the house and found it empty,
debunking the claim that he sent his wife and kids out of the house and failed
to provide for their upkeep.
Kalu Ikeagwu further told
the court that his wife denied him sex and also poured water on him while he
was asleep, and wasn’t aware she lost a pregnancy due to any sexually
transmitted infection while they were together, stating that he stopped sending
money to the children for upkeep and maintenance because his wife denied him
being the father to his step-daughter.
He told the court that accusations
arose after Ijeoma accused him of attempting to sleep with the child and she
failed to acknowledge the money he sent to her, as “I have never been married
to any woman before I got married to my wife. I married her after she had her
daughter”, with the issue of revocation was because I felt Ijeoma wanted to use
me. My Lord, look at the precedence on how I have treated the girl from the
very beginning.
In a twist of event, Justice
Christopher Balogun of the Ikeja High Court had to earlier order the children
to play with their father in court and ordered the respondent to present the
receipts of the tuition fees of the children in court.
Balogun said: “According to the Child’s Right Act, you cannot deny the children
the best education even if you’re quarrelling with your wife and had to adjourn
the case to June 23rd, 2022 for continuation of hearing.
