Oil Billionaire, Leemon Ikpea Defies Court Order, Throws Wife, Children Out of House, Remarries

 


Billionaire man, Chief Leemon Ikpea, has thrown his wife, Mrs Agnes Ikpea, along with their children, out of their home on the Banana Island, Lagos State, in defiance of a subsisting court order.

Ikpea, a 64-year-old oil magnate, is keen on marrying a young lady with Agnes standing as the only stumbling block.

It was learnt that to pave the way for his second marriage, Ikpea approached the court to get an order permitting him to send his wife out of the house after 39 years of marriage.  
Presiding over the case, Justice Joseph Itsebaga Acha of the Edo State High Court had on February 17, 2021, ordered that for the wife to be ejected from the house, Ikpea must provide suitable accommodation for his wife around Victoria Island, Lekki, or anywhere convenient in Lagos outside of Banana Island, Ikoyi, pending the determination of the substantive suit.

In flagrant disregard of the court order, the husband ejected the wife out of the house without providing an alternative apartment as directed by the court.
It was gathered that the husband brought thugs to the house to eject the wife and her belongings.

Agnes said the husband brought the new wife into the house and had been pushing for a divorce.
Relatives have also condemned the court ruling, saying the husband left Lagos for Edo State to get a favourable court judgment.

Dissatisfied with the court ruling, Agnes has sought an order of the Court of Appeal in Benin to nullify the order by Justice Acha.

She is praying the court for a stay of execution of the order and an injunction restraining her estranged husband from carrying out the order pending the hearing of her appeal.

She is asking the appellate court to quash the order of the lower court as her husband failed to provide alternative accommodation for her before ejecting her.
The court will sit on Wednesday, in an accelerated hearing, to decide on the substantive matter.

Ebenezer Obey: The Chief Commander.

  Ebenezer Obey: The Chief Commander. By SYLVESTER ASOYA Ever wondered why Ebenezer Obey enjoys followership across age, sex, tribe and religion?

  FG Suspends Adeboye’s Helicopter From Flying. The Federal Government through the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has grounded a private chopper belonging to Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God at the Lagos Airport. According to Punch Newspaper, the aircraft, AgustaWestland AW139 chopper, with registration number 5N-EAA, was suspended from flying over two weeks ago, following the expiration of some of its papers and spare parts. The suspension, officials said, would also allow the regulator to conduct vital safety checks on its safety-critical components, especially some spare parts that are due for replacement.

One Hundred Minutes Before Obasanjo.

  One Hundred Minutes Before Obasanjo. By Festus Adedayo Did I promise President Olusegun Obasanjo that there would be a ‘rematch’? I cannot precisely remember. But here we were, about 20 years after; he having left the office of the President of Nigeria, with his home at the Presidential Villa, Abuja and I, having left the Tribune newspaper, whose platform had brought me to interview him. We had met in 2001 or so at the Villa for the monthly programme of the office of the President called Presidential Media Chat, beamed live by the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA). Mr. John Momoh of Channels Television anchored the interview. Aside from me, other colleagues – Nkechi Nwankwo of the Champion newspaper and one other journalist from the New Nigerian – completed the interview ensemble. Obasanjo had been in office for barely a year or so and like the biblical Israelites who grumbled about their existential privations in the wilderness and salivated for their Egyptian past, Nigerians ...
