Precious Chikwendu, the estranged wife of the Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has demanded a monthly child support of N3.5 million from her husband.
She accused him of battery and violently abusing her on many occasions even when she was pregnant.
Her claims were contained in an affidavit she deposed in support of a motion brought pursuant to Section 69 of the Child’s Right Act, 2003 where she sought full custody of their four sons.
According to Chiwendu, “From the early days of our relationship, the respondent (Fani-Kayode) has always maintained a lifestyle of utter disregard for my feelings.
“This was evident in the way and manner the respondent assaulted me while pregnant with our first son.
“The respondent (Fani-Kayode) kicked me severally on my stomach over a petty argument that ensued. It was my friend, Vanessa, who was around at the material time that intervened in the nick of time to save me.
“I had to leave the respondent’s (Fani_Kayode’s) house a few days after this incident. (The respondent (Fani-Kayode) repeated the same action when I was pregnant with triplets, this time, it was my mother and sister, Faith, that intervened.
“Sometime in 2018, in one of my attempts to leave the house with the children, the respondent, in company of the DPO Asokoro Police Division and her team team of policemen handcuffed me and stripped me naked while someone from the crowd whom I initially mistook for a policeman forcefully injected me with a sedation.
“I was then abducted and incarcerated at a hospital for a period of two weeks. I was separated from my six-month-old triplets and a-year-old son at the time.”
Precious Chikwendu therefore asked the court to order Fani-Kayode to pay N3.5 million per month for the upkeep of her four sons, claiming that the ex-minister had refused her access to them for some time.
