The beautiful fairytale wedding between the Olujonwo, son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Tope, the daughter of billionaire businessman, who is the Premier Lotto founder, Chief Kessington Adebutu has not only hit the rock, the couple has headed to court to unveil what has been hidden in the 13-month-old union.

Olujonwo Obasanjo had issued an affidavit on June 4, 2018 alleging that he has had to leave his matrimonial home as he feared for his life. He also called on the court to intervene and help prevent further attacks from his wife. The documents went viral last week on social media.

However, his estranged wife, Tope Adebutu-Obasanjo, a Magistrate with the Ogun State judiciary, decided issuing a counter affidavit to state her side of the story. The sworn affidavit was signed and dated June 26, 2018 at the Magistrate Court, Igbosere, Lagos. According to Jonwo’s wife, the couple never experienced marital bliss. She revealed to have never been loved by her husband. Not only was Tope abandoned during their honeymoon in Monaco, her husband allegedly spent his time with other women while she waited for him to arrive since they did not travel together.

Not only that, she revealed his penchant for abandoning not only their home but their matrimonial bed which he barely slept.
“He was not close enough to me to consummate our marriage, which remains unconsummated as he maintained the constant habit of despising and distancing himself from me despite several efforts I made to endear myself to him. The Applicant (Jonwo) has always meted emotional and psychological hardship on me through the act of abandoning me in his father’s house where he kept me and rendering himself incommunicado during the period of desertion without giving me any reasonable or justifiable explanations upon his return.”

Denying exhibiting any form of violence to her husband, Baba Ijebu’s daughter revealed Chief Obasanjo’s son was allegedly a drug addict who is currently undergoing rehabilitation at a private hospital.

Recall that Jonwo’s mother, a former wife of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Taiwo, had in 2017 raised the alarm over what she claimed would be the evil consequences of their son, Jonwo Obasanjo marrying Tope. She also dragged Obasanjo and Adebutu to court to stop the wedding. Taiwo was ignored and the wedding took place amidst pomp on May 11-13 respectively in Lagos.
“My mother-in-law continues to attack, ridicule and defame me with the aim of destroying my career and frustrating my marriage to the Applicant (Jonwo),” Tope stated.
