The marital dispute between Nigerian striker, Olarenwaju Kayode and his estranged wife, Ezinne Kayode, has escalated, with Ezinne filing a lawsuit against her husband for allegedly stating that he has the negative DNA results of their three sons, Jason, Jayden, and Jamin.
The wife of the Nigerian Striker, Dora, who is furious and demanding a prompt disclaimer, stated that she had to take this step after Kayode’s claims regarding their children’s paternity spread widely on social media platforms on Saturday.
The report that was supposedly released to the media accused Ezinne of fraud, infidelity with Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, using Kayode’s two Mercedes SUVs to fund the pastor’s lifestyle, and kidnapping their three sons. Ezinne strongly refuted these allegations in a later Instagram post, criticizing the alleged DNA test results and requesting Kayode to disclose them publicly along with the hospital where the tests were conducted.
In the post 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 also 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 to me.”
She supported her position with a letter from her legal representatives dated May 24, 2024 which was titled ‘Re: Dissemination of false allegations concerning purported DNA test results of the three children of marriage,’ addressed to Kayode at 14, Tulip Road, Peacock Beach Estate, Lekki, Lagos.
The letter read, “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.”
She wrote in the third post on Friday, “Olarenwaju Ayobami Kayode, my silence is enough. Don’t ever drag my kids into your web of lies. I urge you to provide the result of the DNA to the public and the hospital where it was conducted, as we are willing to give you the DNA. You traumatised my kids by detaining us in DSS custody, now DNA, what a great father you are”
