In 2011, former footballer John Fashanu married Abigail Igwe, who happens to be the mum of Adaeze Yobo, wifey of footballer Joseph Yobo.
Well, right now they are going through a messy divorce, Abigail says she can’t deal with his lies anymore, she says she found him bedding two women at the same time….John on the other hand is claiming that she is a lesbian, he also says she has been trying to kill him s as to acquire all his wealth.
We break down the messy details below:
John Fashanu has accused his estranged wife, Abigail Igwe (her daughter is Adaeze Yobo)
of trying to kill him – after she allegedly caught him having a
threesome with two women, one of them was their housemaid…allegedly!
He alleges that she tried to stab him with a knife
He claims that she cheated on him with a WOMAN.
He also accused her of stealing thousands of pounds from their marital home.
He told UK’s Mirror,
She
attempted to use knives on me. It was terrifying. My life was at stake,
there’s no two ways about that. Even if you did think I was sleeping
with the maid, or even if you thought I was sleeping with Miss Nigeria,
don’t kill me! Just leave me and go. The violence was just too much.
Fashanu is however denying he slept with their housemaid. He said,
This
is me, John Fashanu, you’re talking to. It’s absolute nonsense. If she
wants to make up that story, at least let her say it’s Beyoncé or
someone. Don’t say it’s my cleaner, that’s just b******s. It’s not true
at all. The truth is she’s been cheating on me with a woman she calls
her spiritual partner. I caught them in the bed many times. That was why
I kicked her out of my house.
He goes on to add,
I’m
the one who is filing for divorce. I couldn’t stand her and, to be
honest, she probably couldn’t stand me. With Abigail it was just money,
money, money. I’ve never seen a woman who has such an appetite for
money. Nearly one million Nigerian naira (around £3,300) was stolen from
my house in Abuja. There are police reports you can see. There were so
many assaults, it was just getting too much. It was absolutely
ridiculous. She attacked me on multiple occasions. The whole situation
was far too hot for me. There are some wonderful, wonderful women. It’s
just that I met the wrong one.
Abigail on her part had this to say when reached for a comment,
Good
riddance to bad rubbish! I’ve left him and washed my hands. John’s
saying I tried to kill him? Oh my God, this is so funny. I don’t quite
understand all this. How can I kill him? How can somebody like me kill
this huge man who is an expert in karate. I don’t understand how I can
kill him.
She also said she kicked him out, not the other way round
He
didn’t kick me out of his house. We were living in my house. He
couldn’t have kicked me out of my own house – I kicked him out.
About her alleged lesbian partner she says,
She
is a good friend to me. She has a husband and children. It is
ridiculous. She was living with me for a while to get back on her feet.
About catching him in a 3some, Abigail says
I
caught him in bed with two women, the housemaid and one other woman.
There were two women, it was awful. They were on the bed. They were
undressed. I said to them, ‘Who are you and what’s going on here?’ He
told me that he doesn’t know what he’s doing and I should pray for him.
He knows how to manipulate people, that’s one thing he is good at. I
last saw him in April last year. I didn’t know he’d filed for divorce.
He has been calling people asking them to plead with me to get back with
him. I would have filed for divorce myself but I haven’t because I’ve
been very busy. And he asked me not to because he did not want to make
it known that we had separated. So I went on my way and I left him but I
didn’t tell anybody anything.
She adds,
I’ve
told him, ‘I don’t want you any more, I have forgiven you, I’m a
Christian. But I don’t want you any more, just leave me alone. I don’t
take him seriously. I don’t have time for him. If I should be angry at
anyone, I should be angry at myself for descending so low as to enter
into marriage with such a person.”
Their divorce proceeding start on 19th of May in Abuja.
