Paul Okoye and his estranged wife Anita have finally been granted the permission to be officially divorced after their marriage fell apart over a year ago.
The divorce was granted by a High court in Abuja on Monday. Anita had stated that her reason for seeking divorce was because of incessant cheating, fraud among others.
She also requested for some of her husband’s mansion as well as a sum of $20,000 as settlement.
In a divorce petition signed by her lawyers, Ojonimi Akpe and Okutepa J.S., she claimed that she contributed N10 million for a store at the mall completed by Paul Okoye but it was not eventually given to her.
“That I know as a fact that the petitioner founded a company called TannkCo in 2019. 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,” the petition reads in part.
“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.”
In addition, the court granted joint custody of the children to the parties on October 20, 2022.
