Nigerian striker Olarenwaju Kayode and his estranged wife, Ezinne Kayode, are embroiled in a contentious legal dispute. Ezinne has filed a lawsuit against Kayode, alleging that he falsely claimed to possess negative DNA test results for their three sons, Jason, Jayden, and Jamin.
Ezinne, visibly angered by the situation, is demanding a public retraction of Kayode’s claims, which went viral on social media on Saturday. She reinforced her position with a letter from her legal representatives, dated May 24, 2024. The letter, titled “Re: Dissemination of false allegations concerning purported DNA test results of the three children of marriage,” was addressed to Kayode at 14 Tulip Road, Peacock Beach Estate, Lekki, Lagos.
The letter read in part, “It has come to our client’s attention that since May 24, 2024, various blogs and online platforms have been disseminating salacious stories about alleging results of a DNA reveal that none of the three children born during your marriage to our client belong to you.
“This scandalous and defaming story has spread rapidly, causing severe embarrassment to our client and children. Our client has reason to believe that these baseless, humiliating allegations were contrived and strategically planted by you across various media outlets with the malicious intent of tarnishing her reputation and causing irreparable harm to innocent children.”
The alleged report released to the media accused Ezinne of fraud, infidelity with Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, stealing two of Kayode’s Mercedes SUVs to support the pastor’s lifestyle, and abducting their three sons.
Ezinne refuted these allegations in a detailed Instagram post, denouncing the purported DNA test results. She challenged Kayode to publicly disclose the test results and reveal the hospital where they were conducted.
She wrote, “Honestly, I am so tired of this man’s nonsense, and it has to stop now. I knew he was not mentally stable when he pulled out a knife on me some months ago, but to go as far as ruining the lives of innocent kids is way too far. Kayode, I didn’t think you would go that low.
“I have kept quiet on all the rumours you have been spreading because they are baseless, childish, and false. But do you include innocent children? No, now I must speak.
“I have never sold any of my properties or cars and given the proceeds to any pastor, bishop, or imam in this world. In fact, all the rumours this mentally disturbed young man, Kayode, is sharing online are all false.”
Ezinne added, “The last couple of years in this marriage have been like hell on earth. I am so drained and in pain, and I just honestly pray this ordeal is all over soon. I do not wish this kind of abuse and oppression on any woman anywhere in the world. If your story is similar to mine, run away from that man and leave that marriage; you are not stuck! And I pray that God will heal you and send helpers your way like he has for me.”
The alleged report shared with the media accused Ezinne of fraud, having an affair with Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, stealing two of Kayode’s Mercedes SUVs to support the pastor’s lifestyle, and abducting their three sons.
In response, Ezinne vehemently denied these accusations in a detailed Instagram post. She condemned the purported DNA test results and demanded that Kayode make them public, including revealing the hospital where the tests were conducted.
