Custody tussle: Fani-Kayode is exposing my kids to different women, says Chikwendu

Precious Chikwendu, the estranged wife of Femi Fani-Kayode, has warned that the former minister of aviation might be exposing their children to emotional damage by denying them access to their mother.

Chiikwendu’s marriage to Fani-Kayode had collapsed in 2020 over the latter’s allegation of infidelity and the former’s counter-claim of domestic violence. Since then, they have been struggling for the custody of their four kids.

The ex-beauty queen had filed a lawsuit against Fani-Kayode, the inspector-general of police (IGP), and three other respondents for alleged harassment. She had also demanded N800 million in damages.

On Tuesday, she took to her Instagram page to vent about the potential effect of their legal struggles on their children.

“Whoever carries even one of these adorables as long as to term loves that soul deeply enough to keep and raise him as well, let alone multiple,” the actress wrote in the caption of a photo mix showing their four children.

“A right-thinking parent would do what is right for their kids regardless of relationships or ties to a partner who by the way has a right to peace or even call it self-determination like you often preached in the past.

“Denying these adorable ones the rights to their mother who is alive, hale, and sane, contrary to what you would like to portray so badly says a lot. It is not about you or me. We are adults who would both live out our time and be gone.

“These amazing ones, have a full life ahead and you shape them like this? If this is all about pinching me into hurting, you’ve lost already. I’m an adult who can cushion so much but these lovely tender ones, can they?

“This emotional damage you are doing to them is also a disservice to yourself.

“I hear you finally let them go to school after one year because I came at you on that. What would you tell them when their mates raise conversations about their mother during family tree classes?

“It indeed is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Do you have a soul?”
