The marriage between Paul Okoye and his estranged wife, Anita has been dissolved.
An Abuja High court sitting in Maitama gave the order granting the divorce.
Anita claimed that cheating, separation, being an absent father,
fraud, and difficult experiences were her major reasons for seeking a
divorce.
She also requested a monthly settlement of $20,000 and a number of her husband’s mansions.
Earlier on, in her divorce petition signed by her lawyer, Ojonimi
Akpe and Okutepa J.S at an Abuja High Court of the Federal Capital
Territory, Maitama, Anita had earlier claimed that she contributed N10
million as an agreement with her husband that she would be granted space
at the mall he had just completed in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos. However, she
accused Paul Okoye of cheating her out of a deal.
The petition reads in part, “That I know as a fact that the petitioner founded a company called TannkCo in 2019.
“That the petitioner and the respondent agreed to build a mall
where TannkCo would have its main offices, and the petitioner
contributed N10,000,000.00 (Ten Million Naira) for the purchase of the
land and the building of the mall.
“That I know as a fact that the respondent, upon completion of
the mall, reneged on the agreement and failed to give TannkCo a space in
the mall.”
However, Anita decided to withdraw the claims and opted to settle
following alleged inability to prove all of the claims in her petition
to the court.
Consequently, the court in its judgment granted joint custody of the children to the parties on October 20, 2022.
