An Abuja High court sitting in Maitama has dissolved the eight years marriage of Anita and Paul Okoye.
Anita had filed for divorce with allegations of cheating, separation, being an absent father, fraud, and difficult experiences against Okoye.
She also requested a monthly settlement of $20,000 and a number of her husband’s mansions.
However, she accused Paul Okoye of cheating her out of a deal.
The petition reads 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 the alleged inability to prove all of the claims in her petition to the court.
Consequently, the court in its judgment granted joint custody of the children to the parties on October 20, 2022.
