The estranged wife of Femi Fani-Kayode, Precious Chikwendu, has said she conceived all her four children with ex-aviation minister through artificial insemination.
She claimed that she never had sexual intercourse with Fani-Kayode throughout their six years of living together.
The former beauty queen made this revelation known through a suit she filed before a Customary Court sitting in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) while seeking access to her four kids.
Chikwendu claimed that his relationship with the former minister crumbled in 2020 over domestic violence and the latter’s counterclaims of infidelity.
She revealed that they have been in a hectic legal battle for the control of their four children.
According to the suit she filed through Abiodun E. Olusanya, her lawyer, Chikwendu said her request followed information that one of her kids currently staying with the former minister was injured on the head.
The suit marked FCT/CCK8/01/043/2021, Chikwendu claimed that she did not have sex with the former minister throughout their six-year relationship.
The mother of four also claimed that she was forced to remain celibate during the cohabitation due to Fani-Kayode’s alleged erectile dysfunction.
In the suit, she argued that she was never married to Fani-Kayode, adding that he neither paid her bride price nor performed customary or statutory marriage rites with her as believed in some quarters.
She added that Fani-Kayode manufactured a fake story to her that his marriage to his third wife, Regina, who is a Ghanaian, had broken off.
The entrepreneur also added that her relationship with Fani-Kayode, her former “estranged cohabiter,” was full of “woes, lies, deceits, quarrels, assaults, battery, and domestic violence.”
Also in her petition, Chikwendu begged the court to agree to the requests she embodied in her earlier suit titled “Application for issuance of civil summons/plaint” which was filed against Fani-Kayode on November 29.
In her earlier suit, these among others, include: “An order declaring that there was no customary marriage between the Petitioner and the respondent (despite their six-year cohabitation) under the Nanka, Orumba North, Anambra State of Igbo native law and customs.
“Alternatively, assuming by the evidence during the trial the court finds that there was a customary marriage between parties:
“An order dissolving the customary marriage between the petitioner and the respondent forthwith.
“An order granting the Petitioner access to and custody of the four children of the cohabitation between parties especially during their academic calendar.
“An order ordering the respondent to be continuously responsible for the academic, medical, clothing, and welfare of the four children of the cohabitation.
“An order ordering the respondent to release and return the Petitioner’s property.”
