The chairman of defunct Skye Bank, Tunde Ayeni’s wife, Abiola Ayeni, has accused an Abuja-based lawyer, Adaobi Alagwu, of using diabolical means to seduce her husband.
Speaking to ThisDay in an interview, Mrs Ayeni said that her husband was a naive victim who did not have an idea of what that Alagwu was allegedly doing to him using charms.
She accused the young lady of being a “diabolical … runs girl” with plans of foisting the paternity of another man’s child on her husband.
Mr Ayeni had admitted back in 2019 that he had a brief affair with his mistress, who claimed that he is the father of her child, but his wife insists that her husband is not the biological father
Abiola said that it didn’t matter if her husband of 31 years had dated Ms Alagwu, that on the controversy surrounding the paternity of Ms Alagwu’s child, her husband had informed her that the child was not his and that she believed and would stand by him.
The woman accused her husband’s one-time mistress of being a “desperate gold digger … who thinks she can become ‘Mrs Ayeni’ by merely pinning a child on her highest-paying victim.”
In her words: “How can a man who is happily married and in his right senses be spending lavishly on a prostitute of that age? Such magnitude of spending should raise the question: ‘In return for what…five-minute pleasure?’
“Money makes a man misbehave. Friends make a man misbehave, and strange women seduce men with all manner of Jazz (juju) to make a man misbehave.
“When spending becomes unusual, you should suspect that a man is under a spell. So, whatever she claims my husband bought for her, she knows what she did to get it from him.”
On how the scandal has affected her marriage, Mrs Ayeni said; “My marriage is standing solid. My husband’s love for me is not threatened, and he is not lost. My children are unmoved by the claim, and my husband has no children outside the three we have together.
“And it is quite surprising that despite her degree in Law, she needs somebody to tell her that a child is not a marriage certificate! Neither does a child offer her security to maintain a fake lifestyle that she has become accustomed to.
“Anyway, she has been warned through our lawyers to desist from parading herself as Mrs Ayeni because she is not, and she will never be as the Lord lives.
“My husband and I are legally married. As for her calling her child by my husband’s surname, Ayeni is many. The child is not Tunde Ayeni’s child. Period! When she is tired of calling the child the borrowed name, she will change it to her father’s name”.
