reportedly dragged his ex-wife Fathia
Balogun to court over her refusal to
stop bearing his last name, years after
their marriage ended.
According to Punch, Saheed Balogun
had once said in an interview that he
would stop her Fathia Balogun, from
using his name when he was ready,
saying:
She is my ex.
As for my name that she is still
answering, the deed will be done soon.
The Nigerian law says that after
three or four years, you can do
something about it. If somebody wants
to keep my name, what of the new
person coming in? This has nothing to
do with grudges.”
And now, it seems Saheed is ready to
do something about his threat.
Fathia on the other hand is insisting
that nobody could stop her from using
her name. Fathia had said last year in
an interview: I laugh, my name is
Fathia Balogun and it’s going to remain
Balogun; nobody can ever change that
and nobody can stop me from
answering that name.”
When Saturday Beats contacted Saheed
and Fathia to confirm they are in court,
both refused to talk about it.
