The estranged wife to former minister of aviation Femi Fani-Kayode, Precious Chikwendu has accused him of domestic violence.
Chikwendu said she met Mr Fani-Kayode in 2014 at the peak of her career and they soon fell in love and began living together and had four children, a son age five and a set of triplets age three.
Precious Chikwendu said: “From the early days of our relationship, the respondent (Fani-Kayode), has always maintained a lifestyle of utter disregard to 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 at 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 act when I was pregnant with triplets, this time it was my mother and sister, Faith, that intervened.”
She alleged that the former minister accused her of infidelity and on several occasions locked her out of their Abuja home.
She asked the court to compel Fani-Kayode to give her a monthly payment of N3.5m for the upkeep of the four sons, claiming he currently spends N1.8m on food, toiletries and others on the four children every month while N575,000 is spent monthly on clothing.
