Jennifer Abubakar, the estranged wife of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has accused her husband of using security aides and thugs to threaten her for seeking a divorce.
In a statement published by The Trent, Jennifer noted that she is been threatened and monitored by security personnel linked to Mr Abubakar.
“Since this incident, I fear for my safety and that of my kids. His Excellency’s security operatives especially Ibro and others have been making threats and calling my relatives, friends, and staff and searching for my assets to seize and monitoring my phone calls and those of friends and relatives. For that reason, I have exited my law firm and sold all my assets, and moved abroad until peace reigns,” she said.
The Street Journal had earlier reported that Jennifer had clarified the issues surrounding her divorce, stating that it had nothing to do with his new marriage to a Moroccan woman.
“On June 26, 2021, I asked His Excellency to grant me a divorce in light of the breakdown of our marriage. And, during that period, I told his Excellency that I remain at his Excellency’s service to continue to assist him in his activities even If I am no longer married to him,” she added in her statement.
Jennifer also commented on the controversy surrounding the Dubai residence, dismissing claims that she attempted to take over the properties.
The statement noted that there would be no further discussion on the Dubai residence as it is currently in litigation, adding that if she had intention to “take His Excellency’s assets, I would not have returned to him his property documents in Abuja and Jos and documents, allowed the driver to collect his cars, and gave up the house in Asokoro and Yola.”
