A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting at Apo, yesterday, declined to strike out the suit Ms. Precious Chikwendu, the estranged wife of former Minister of Aviation, Chief Fani-Kayode, filed to take custody of their four kids.
However, the court, in a ruling that was delivered by Justice Sylvester Oriji, upheld Fani-Kayode’s contention that the suit was not properly served on him.
Justice Oriji said there was no evidence before the court that the former Minister was personally served with copies of the court processes as required by the law.
He noted that the court bailiff had in an affidavit of service he deposed to, averred that he did not see the former Minister personally when he took the processes to his Abuja residence.
In a release through his media consultant, Oladimeji Olaiya, the following day, Fani-Kayode noted that he had video evidence of Chikwendu’s infidelity.

The Kogi State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Hon Kingsley Fanwo has dismissed what he called, “attention-seeking insinuation” by one Mr Deji Adeyanju on Cheif Femi Fani Kayode, saying the post was a “lazy gossip” by the activist.
Fanwo stated this in Abuja while fielding questions from journalists on the allegation by Adeyanju that Governor Bello told people that Chief Fani Kayode was begging for an appointment with Mr President.
“Adeyanju has no justification for such a reckless rumour because such statements never came from the Governor. The Governor and Chief Fani Kayode have decided to work together in addressing some of the challenges facing the nation, especially in the areas of security and nation-building.
