Precious Chikwendu, estranged wife of former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode has revealed to a Customary Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, that her ex-husband never consummated their six-year marriage.
According to Chikwendu, the four children she had with Fani-Kayode were conceived through artificial insemination.
In the suit marked FCT/CCK8/01/043/2021 filed by her counsel Mr Abiodun E. Olusanya, Chikwendu told the court that Fani-Kayode has erectile dysfunction and she was forced to remain celibate during the cohabitation due to Fani-Kayode’s alleged erectile dysfunction.
“At every attempt, the petitioner made to have sexual intercourse with the respondent, there was never erection of the respondent’s penis/manhood and penetration was frustrating.
“The petitioner then insisted parties should seek medical help for the respondent, and on visiting the family doctor, the respondent claimed he was diagnosed of having a cyst on his penis/manhood, which is not allowing the respondent to have erection and or perform sexually.

“The respondent was supposedly placed on cyprotab and the doctor suggested that the respondent should go and decide when he wishes to remove/untangle the cyst.
Chikwendu, the petitioner, made her demands known in her November 29, 2021 “Application for issuance of civil summons/plaint” against Fani-Kayode, the respondent.
Chikwendu told the court that the Fani-Kayode did not pay her bride price or perform any customary rites before their marriage. She asked the court to declare that she was never married to Fani-Kayode. She also revealed that Fani-Kayode has yet to commence divorce arrangements with his third wife, Regina.
She reiterated her experiences with the abusive Fani-Kayode saying, “From the inception of the cohabitation, the Respondent has been a violent person who attacks the Petitioner and her family members at will without provocation.”
The mother of four sought an order to gain access and custody of the four children and return of her property.
“An order granting the petitioner access to and custody of the four children of the cohabitation between parties especially during their academic calendar.
“An order ordering the respondent to be continuously responsible for the academic, medical, clothing and welfare of the four children of the cohabitation.
“An order ordering the respondent to release and return the Petitioner’s property which includes the petitioner’s certificates and documents, trophies from the United Nations pageantry, Red Range Rover car, registered under her foundation name and the foundation’s certificates and the petitioner’s picture.”
Fani-Kayode has yet to file a response to the application as at the time of filing in this report.
