Kayode Olanrewaju, a Nigerian football star, is seeking ₦1 billion in damages from controversial UK-based Pastor Tobi Adegboyega for emotional trauma, financial loss, and loss of goodwill caused by his adulterous affair with Dora Ezinne Kayode. He also seeks an official divorce from his wife.
Olanrewaju has previously taken legal action after allegations spread on social media that Kayode is not the biological father of the three children he had with Dora.
Suit Number PET/304/2024, a cross-petition filed before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja, alleged adultery, financial malfeasance, and a dramatic family collapse.
Ezinne Dora was entangled in a scandal involving fraud, infidelity, and kidnapping, which shocked the nation.
It has been reported that Yetunde Burstline, an associate of controversial figures Daddy Freeze and Taste Bud, introduced Mrs. Kayode to Pastor Tobi Adegboyega.
It was revealed that Pastor Adegboyega engaged in sexual affairs with Mrs. Kayode, who frequently attended orgies, leaving home for extended periods.
In his cross-petition, Olanrewaju claimed that since their marriage in 2013, Ezinne has repeatedly committed adultery, including his earlier claim of an ongoing affair with Pastor Adegboyega. The footballer alleged that his wife’s relationship with Adegboyega has not been discreet, with the pair seen openly attending parties and sharing intimate moments in public.
He also said that Ezinne has had similar relations with other men, which has made it intolerable for him to continue living with her as husband.
The cross-petition also discussed a pattern of financial manipulation by Ezinne. Olanrewaju claimed that Dora diverted significant funds and rental proceeds from properties he purchased, alleging that she is using them to sustain her extravagant lifestyle and her alleged relationship with Pastor Adegboyega.
The plot, according to the lawsuit, included collusion with Dora’s alleged ex-lover, Ugochukwu Igboanugo, who helped her misappropriate property documents. The footballer further accused Ezinne of abusing alcohol and living a life filled with late-night parties, which contributed to the deterioration of their marriage.
Olanrewaju accused his estranged wife of undermining their joint business ventures. He stated how he incorporated DE-J-S Concept Ltd., intending it to be a vehicle for their investments. However, he alleged that Ezinne exploited this opportunity to siphon funds and benefit from the company’s assets, facilitated by her alleged ties with Ugochukwu Igboanugo.
Olanrewaju’s Cross-petition also mentioned his earlier allegation that Dora abducted their three children and fled from home on 24th March 2024. He said the Directorate of State Security Service (DSS), helped to track her down.
