Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and one of his ex-wives, Taiwo (née Martins) are currently engaged in a messy battle. And so bad is it that the woman who is the twin sister of Chief Kenny Martins of the Police Trust Fund mess has even dragged him to court.
Mrs. Taiwo Obasanjo, as she is still widely known in spite of having terminated her marriage to Obasanjo years ago, just filed a suit to arrest the wedding of their son, Olujonwo to Tope, daughter of Baba Ijebu owner, Chief Kessington Adebutu.
The wedding is supposed to hold on May 11 and 12, which the woman is saying is not possible considering a prophesy she received against it. Preferring any other date after June 1, and after the groom’s 34th birthday, she also claimed that she wasn’t carried along while the dates were being fixed.
The couple had their introduction sometime in December 2017.
Justice Lateefa Okunnu of the Lagos High Court, meanwhile, has fixed hearing for April 10.
But the angry and bitter Mrs. Obasanjo, it would be recalled, is not a novice to scandals. Her romance-gone-sour story with late controversial Benue politician, Chief Godwin Daboh, was so salacious that for weeks on end both of them regaled the world with some of their darkest secrets. Even their sexual encounters were hung outside for all to gawk at then. With muds and dirts splattered all over them at the end of the day.
