A video footage showing the moment an estranged wife and her husband’s mistress got into an argument in the Isheri DPO’s office has been leaked.
One Katherine Daramola, 57, a US based lawyer, has accused her estranged husband Adetokunbo Daramola of abandoning her and their 4 children in the United States and returned to Nigeria where he got his mistress to start living with him in ‘her’ house.
Adetokunbo, a businessman who executes contracts for the Lagos Inland Revenue Service (LIRS), was accused of conniving with his alleged mistress to illegally acquire the couple’s jointly-owned property in Lagos.
Mrs Daramola who granted interview to press men said her husband partly relocated to Nigeria In 2010, where he began executing contracts for the Lagos Inland Revenue Service (LIRS) and some local government areas in the state.
She also said they had acquired plots of lands at the Magodo GRA in Lagos where they built the twin duplex her husband moved in with his mistress.
“We got two plots of land at Magodo but we were not able to build on both plots, so we got a developer who paid N10 million on an agreement that he would take two duplexes and the family the other two duplexes.
“We built two duplexes and the Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) has my name (on it).
” I contributed 75 percent of the money spent on building the house and furnished most parts of the house” Mrs. Daramola said.
She also accused her husband of starting an illegal affair with another married woman whose husband is based in the UK without her knowledge . she also alleged that her husband moved into the house with his mistress upon completion and furnishing of the building.
she further claimed that her husband left her in the US to single handedly carter for their four children.
She also said; “I’m home-grown, I am close to retirement. I need to come home, which is why we built the house, now they are trying to deny me access to my house.
“He came to the United States, spent few months, then came back to Nigeria in 2018. I noticed he was having an affair, but I didn’t know how serious it was.
“I handed over everything to him out of trust and that him, being the husband, the man of the home, he should take over. That was the trust and I just continued here buying things and shipping them home.
“Unknown to me, his mistress was living in my house. She was the first person that used my Jacuzzi, my brand new bed, my kitchen utensils and everything. She felt that comfortable, whatever he was telling her, I don’t know.
“Due to abandonment and numerous incidents of adultery, and fear of being infected with deadly sexual diseases, I separated from him and asked him to give up my share of the twin duplexes,” she said.
Mrs Daramola said she visited Nigeria in May 2019 unannounced only to find female items all over their home which the husband denied knowing the owner.
She said by her next visit to Nigeria, the locks to the house had been changed by her husband’s mistress. She accused the woman of planning to take over the house with her mother.
“Despite several legal notices and lawsuits, both defendants continue to stay in my part of the duplex. Mr Daramola continued to lock me out and I had to break into the house several times.
“On Sunday, January 9th (2021), I arrived with my children and broke the locks and padlocks to gain entry into my house and found Abisoye’s (the mistress) personal and intimate items strewn all over my bedroom.
“My children and I moved her things out of my house and piled them up at the gate. When they were notified by third parties that we were in the house, they called the police and the Isheri DPO invited all of us.
“Tokunbo Daramola and Abisoye were asked to remove their personal belongings from the home. In the presence of the police officers, they both threatened to kill me. The DPO advised us to return with police escort and they came to pick up their load.
“Abisoye started screaming and insisting that she will not leave my home. Herself and Olatokunbo Daramola conspired and falsely accused me of stealing. They, however, later admitted that none of their personal items were stolen. They still filed a police report” Mrs Daramola stated.
She also alleged that she has received several threats from the mistress and her mother that they would kill her “within six months”.
“What Mr Daramola is exhibiting is the current trend of Nigerian men in the diaspora who walk away from long term marriages and children and subject wives to mortgages while they come to Nigeria and live with other women.
“Olatokunbo needs to do the needful and give me my property. He wants to continue staying over at the house. I spent my whole life savings, I spent over $53,000 furnishing the house.” she said
