It is no longer news that former minister of Aviation, Femi Fani Kayode’s marriage to ex-beauty queen wife, Precious Chikwendu, may have ended as the couple have both gone their separate ways.
The couple, who are parents to four sons, including a set of two-year-old triplets, have been married since 2014. A family source said the marriage broke down irretrievably due to a health challenge which Precious Chikwendu has been trying to manage since they became a couple.
According to the source, the health issue posed a serious challenge and the couple later became estranged. Alongside other unprintable reasons, the source also claimed that they had countless disagreements over ‘‘unapproved outings.’’
The close family source said, ‘‘Snowwhite was fond of going out without Fani-Kayode’s permission and he could no longer tolerate it’.’
The couple have apparently been living apart for some months now.
Corroborating Precious Chikwendus’ aunt’s claim, her uncle, Okey Onyemachi, similarly denied the claim on domestic violence. Okey had granted an interview where he said Precious was subdued after raising a knife at the family.
“In my house, sometimes we have misunderstandings, which is normal with every human being. I’m only aware of when she had to pull the knife,” he said when asked to comment on the violence.
“It’s no secret. It was recorded on video, the police have the record. She pulling a knife, videotaped it, and was making all sorts of comments and allegations. I felt it was when she had a swing. The police came, they tried and pleaded. The testimony I got that made me leave Owerri, where I stay, for Abuja was that efforts were made by the female police officer who led the team.
“They persuaded her to calm down. She was shouting. We had to go back to get a reinforcement. There was a doctor who also came and tried to assist in various ways until she was gotten down. Hefty men were brought. She tried to stab those who came, including my sister and Femi himself. Certain statements were being made, false allegations of someone wanting to set up some things.”
