Obasanjo’s
Ex-wife Loses Suit to Stop Son’s Wedding
An Ikeja High Court on Monday dismissed the suit instituted by
Mrs. Taiwo Obasanjo, ex-wife of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, seeking to
stop her son’s wedding.
Justice Lateefa Okunnu dismissed the suit on the grounds that her court, being a family court, does not have the jurisdiction to entertain a matter involving an adult who is over 33 years old.
Mrs.
Obasanjo, in an originating motion on notice filed by her lawyer, Mr.Toyin
Olowoyobijo, had sought an order for the postponement of the wedding of her
son, Olujonwo, to Sir Kessington Adebutu’s daughter, Tope, to any other date
after June 30, 2017 on the grounds of some spiritual advice.
The former president and father of the bride, Adebutu, better known as Baba Ijebu, a lottery business mogul, were the respondents to the suit.
