Court dissolves Paul Okoye, Anita’s marriage

Published

on

The eight-year marriage of Paul Okoye to Anita has been dissolved by a high court in Abuja.

Anita, who got married to Paul in 2014, cited cheating, separation, being an absent father, fraud and difficult experiences as reasons for seeking a divorce.
She requested a monthly settlement of $20,000 and a number of her husband’s mansions.

In the 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.

She, however, claimed Paul Okoye cheated her out of a deal.

The petition read 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 the claims in her petition to the court.
The court, in its ruling, granted joint custody of the children to the parties on October 20, 2022.
