Femi Fani-Kayode\u2019s Fourth Marriage Explodes Over Domestic Violence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A former Minister of Aviation in Nigeria, Femi Fani-Kayode, and his ex-beauty queen wife, Precious Chikwendu, have separated.<\/p>\n

Though a family member told PREMIUM TIMES that the marriage broke down irretrievably due to a health challenge, which Precious had been trying to manage since they became a couple, SaharaReporters reliably gathered that the woman left the marriage over domestic violence.<\/p>\n

Fani-Kayode, who had had a hat-trick of marriages before meeting Precious with whom he has four sons, including a set of two-year-old triplets, accused her of infidelity.<\/p>\n

Sources told SaharaReporters that the former minister started physically abusing Precious from the first year of their marriage — the same fate that befell her three predecessors.<\/p>\n

The violence, it was gathered, increased as the years went by.<\/p>\n

FFK as the ex-minister is often reffered to, was said to have ordered Precious to abort her last pregnancy, claiming it did not belong to him.<\/p>\n

The sources said Precious ignored him but got savage beating, including on her belly for the recalcitrance.<\/p>\n

A source said Fani-Kayode always hit the woman violently in presence of their homehelps and sometimes threatened her with a gun by sticking the weapon in her mouth to warn her against squealing.<\/p>\n

He sometimes instructed his bodyguard to hit the ex-beauty queen.<\/p>\n

Fani-Kayode\u2019s first wife, Saratu Attah, whom he married when he was 22, was also regularly pummeled by him.<\/p>\n

Sources said the woman, daughter of the late Adamu Attah, was viciously beaten for requesting a swimming pool in their home on Marine Road in Apapa, Lagos.<\/p>\n

FFK’s next marriage was to Yemisi Odesanya, daughter of a judge.<\/p>\n

She is now known as Yemisi Wada after remarrying.<\/p>\n

In newspaper interviews, the woman told stories of Fani-Kayode’s viciousness and lack of care for their daughters, the reason for which he was excluded from the marriage of one of them, Temitope, in 2014.<\/p>\n

Despite the disconnect between him and the children, FFK never fails to advertise his “love” for them on Facebook on their birthdays.<\/p>\n

Under to hide his ‘spot’ like the Leopard, FFK soon displayed his ugly part when in August he attacked Eyo Charles, a journalist with Daily Trust, for asking him a question during a press conference in Calabar, Cross River State.<\/p>\n

Apart from describing Charles as “stupid”, FFK used other derogatory words on the journalist, drawing criticisms from far and near.<\/p>\n

The former minister eventually bowed to public pressure and apologised for his conduct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
