Precious Chikwendu, the estranged wife of former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode has alleged that she was falsely accused by the mother of former Big Brother Naija ‘Shine Ya housemate Jackie Bent.
According to the former beauty queen, Jackie B’s mother, Senator Grace Bent and Fani-Kayode filed false criminal charges, accusing her of trying to assassinate the senator.
Taking to her Instagram, the beauty queen cried out in a video about her ordeal in the ongoing custody battle with Femi Fani-Kayode.
She revealed that the false criminal charges against her, prompted her to also divulge sensitive information to the public.
She pointed out that she had been silent since 2nd August, 2020, when she left FFK and only started speaking up after a year because people started taking her silence as “guilt” and also because her kids might ask why she didn’t defend herself.
The mother of four stated that while she knows that children should not be kept away from their father, they shouldn’t also be kept away from their mother and she wouldn’t be alive and see her children ”live like orphans.”
According to Chikwendu, she has appealed to her FFK to allow his lawyers to sit with hers so they can reach an agreement on “rotation of access” to their kids. She claimed that the former Minister refused this, but instead wants to “exert power over her and drag her back to the cage she escaped from”.
She said she has taken psychiatric evaluation in Nigeria and abroad in a bid to counter the insanity claim by FFK. Admitting the mistake of not reading up about the former minister and how some of his romantic affairs played out, Chikwendu stated that she decided to give him a clean slate to prove himself and now regrets it.
She appealed to all mothers to join her in the fight of justice. She revealed that FFK is going against a court order that grants her permission to see her kids. Chikwendu also revealed that her prayer is not to raise ”monsters or men” who will continue the same pattern of thinking they can get away with anything they do to women.
The mother of four concluded by saying there should be respect and decorum in any relationship and she hopes her sons will imbibe that.
