Rear Admiral Madueke wants court to stop ex-wife Diezani from using his name

Rear Admiral Madueke wants court to stop ex-wife Diezani from using his name

Rear Admiral Alison Amaechina Madueke has petitioned a Lagos High Court to issue an injunction preventing his ex-wife, Diezani Alison-Madueke, from using his first name (Alison) and surname (Madueke) following their divorce.

He has requested that the court order Diezani to revert to her maiden name, Diezani Kogbeni Agama, and to publicly announce this change in newspapers in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

The petition, filed under suit number LD/15144HD/2024, claims that Diezani’s continued use of his name poses significant legal and financial risks to him due to her ongoing criminal trials in Nigeria and the UK. Alison Madueke cited that they ceased cohabiting in May 2015 following her ministerial appointment.

Diezani later filed for divorce in November 2021, which was finalized on April 13, 2022, by Hon. Justice A.A. Ozegya at the High Court of Nassarawa State, Mararaba Gurku Judicial Division.

The retired naval officer expressed that the ongoing association of Diezani with his name is causing embarrassment and damage to his reputation and public image.

Despite the legal dissolution of their marriage, Diezani continues to use his name without justification or consent, creating a false impression of an ongoing relationship.

Alison Madueke has also stated that he had instructed his solicitors, Messrs Foundation Chambers, to send a formal letter to Diezani on December 14, 2023, requesting her to cease using his name and revert to her maiden name.

The petition seeks to enforce this change formally and to ensure public notification of her name reversion.
