- Ifedayo Blessing is in court regarding child paternity issues with Mr. Olaniyi Solomon.
- They have a 6-year-old daughter together and separated last September.
- Mr. Solomon accused Blessing of having relationships with 15 men during their marriage.
- Blessing admitted to multiple relationships to facilitate their separation.
Ifedayo Blessing, the troubled partner of Mr. Olaniyi Solomon, explained in court why she confessed to having relationships with several partners.
They appeared on the well-known TV show, Justice Court, led by Justice Funmi Asaolu, to discuss the issue of their child’s paternity.
The couple has a 6-year-old daughter together but separated last September.
During the previous court session, it was reported that Mr. Solomon claimed his wife confessed to being with 15 men while they were still married.
In her defense at the latest court session, Blessing, who is now expecting a child with another man, stated that she admitted to cheating to push for their separation.
“When we were living together, he used to threaten me a lot and said anytime he saw me involved in fornication, he would send me parking.
“I have made several unsuccessful attempts to leave and threaten to take our daughter away. When he asked about my body count, I admitted having sex with five men, not 15, so that he would be angry and send me out. Is it possible to sleep with 15 men and tell your (husband) when I am not mad?
“I swore with the Bible that I will do it again because nothing like that happened. But I was surprised that he said we should start afresh and leave the past behind,” she added.
Blessing said she later agreed to return to him with her pregnancy.
“After we parted, he saw me pregnant and begged that I should return. I did but was still experiencing the same maltreatment. I told my mother to go and beg the father of my unborn child who I left without any offence to accept me back. I am with him now.
However, Mr Solomon insisted that the pregnancy belongs to him.
In her judgement, Justice Asaolu ruled that it is now apparent that the two of them can no longer leave together.
She added that Mr Solomon be allowed unfettered access to their child, ordered him to pay N20,000 monthly for the child upkeep and a DNA be conducted to determine the real father of the disputed pregnancy.
