One of the ex commissioners in
Ondo State, Wale Akinterinwa must have bitten more than what he can chew if
information at our disposal is anything to go by. The former commissioner for
Finance who resigned in the Governor Olusegun Mimiko`s government in 2009
having left Labour Party to join the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN is at
present at the center of a serious adultery scandal and we learnt he`s been
running from pillar to post to get himself of the mess. The politician is being
alleged to be the source of the break-up of a marriage of almost 20 years. According
to our findings, the former Finance Commissioner has been named as the
co-respondent in a divorce suit instituted at the Oyo State High Court, Ibadan
by Williams Rotimi Fadoju. He has been joined as a party in the suit number
I/1093HD/11 with the petitioner’s wife as the respondent. Fadoju is seeking the
dissolution of his 19-year old marriage to Omolara Oyeronke Fadoju.(nee Adekeye).
According to a petition filed at the High Court, Ibadan and dated 30th
November, 2011 by Fadoju, he finds it intolerable to continue living with his
wife after having discovered her adulterous ways. Rotimi and Omolara Fadoju got
married at the Southwark Registry in Peckham, England on 11th
February, 1993 after Omolara’s previous marriage to one Wale Macaulay had been
dissolved earlier on in the same year. According to the petition filed by
Rotimi Fadoju, “the marriage started having problems at the instance of the
respondent immediately after the birth of the first child of the marriage in
1995. The respondent decided to prepare the petitioner’s meals only when she
desired to and would rain invectives on the petitioner if he questioned the
respondent’s failure, refusal or neglect to prepare his meals.” Mr. Fadoju also
stated that his wife developed the habit of nagging at him even in the presence
of visitors, neighbours and at times visiting relations. He further averred
that initially, love making between him and his wife became infrequent and very
far in between, and always at his wife’s convenience. He however pointed out
that since November 2010; he has been denied his conjugal rights by his wife
who turns down his sexual advances. He disclosed that sexual intercourse has
totally ceased between them and the marriage is no longer consummated since
there is no longer intimacy through sexual intercourse. Fadoju disclosed in his
petition that in 2006, he started to suspect that his wife was having extra-marital
affairs. He stated that his suspicions were confirmed through personal
investigation in 2007 that his wife was having an extra-marital affair with one
Wale Akinterinwa (the co-respondent) of Awoseyi Street, near Gboluyi Guest
House, Ile Oluji, Ondo State, a staunch member of the Labour Party and former
Commissioner for Finance in Ondo State but now decamped to the Action Congress
of Nigeria (ACN). Fadoju disclosed that when he confronted his wife with his
findings, she denied ever knowing anyone by the name Wale Akinterinwa, let
alone having an extra-marital affair with him. Three days later however, Fadoju
stumbled on a white mug with the following inscription on it: “Pa Moses
Akinterinwa. Died on 18th January, 2007. Buried on 2nd
March, 2007. May his gentle soul rest in peace. Courtesy: Ronke Fadoju and
Desola Adekeye”. Mr Fadoju further stated that contrary to denial or knowledge
of any relationship with anyone by the name Wale Akinterinwa, she had, exactly
a week before the denial, attended the burial ceremony of the co-respondent’s
late father and had co-sponsored (with the go between in her act of infidelity
i.e Desola Adekeye) the production and distribution to the burial guests, a
number of gift items which included the above mentioned mug. Fadoju has
promised to tender the mug in evidence at the trial. The petitioner also
disclosed that sometime in April, 2007, he discovered a number of text messages
exchanged between his wife (through her mobile phone number 08035749290) and
Mr. Akinterinwa (through his mobile phone number 08033062131) many of which
were composed in abbreviated and shortened words, through which amorous and
extra-marital text love messages were exchanged. The messages are
hereafter reproduced: i) On 09/ 12/2007 the respondent sent the following to
the co-respondent: `As d day of hope approaches, when d Lord will save d weak
and hepplez 1’s, nd give glory 2 dose who av bin mocked. On dat day,
d Lord will give u a name of distictn among d nations of d earth. U will praise
d Lord when He restores ur fortune b4 ur eyes according 2 d voice of d Lord.

the same date, the respondent sent the following to the co-respondent: ` I’m
looking for a word, I’m looking for a whole new word, I’m looking for a whole
new word, I’m looking for a word that nobody knows and feel, I’m looking for a
word that says I luv u….Nd that you are the best thing that ever happen to me. iii)
On 12/12/2007 at 5: 00 am, the co-respondent sent a technologically designed
puppy with the accompanying text to the respondent thus: “Am sending you this
puppy to keep you company and to bite you if you forget to think about me, good
morning Love”. iv) On 12/12/2007 at 5:00 am, the respondent sent the following
to the Co-respondent: “On dis 12th day of d 12th mth, d
Lord God who prosper Isaac will prosper u nd make u d envy of odas, 4 he will
take u 2 ur Rehoboth, where he has made room 4 u and shall make u fruitful, u

co-respondent: “Woteva steps u take dis wk in faith, may u encounter d Lord’s

Henceforth may d many promises of God find dere ans in xt thru u nd 4 dis
reason u shall say amen 2 d glory of God, 2 Cor 1 vs 20. How r u dearest heart?
Sweet dreams.” vi) On 28/1/2008 at 6:10 am, the Co-Respondent sent to the
Respondent the following: “If you need a FUCK, do not hesitate to call me
because am a good FUCK.” vii) On 29/01/2008 at 5:00am, the Respondent sent to
the Co-Respondent the following: “2day, may u hav an encounter with God such as
dat of Isaiah nd go on a ride in 2 d city of heavenly revelations. When u
return, every 1 know know u hav just arrived 4 ur arrival will be preceded by
abundant grace, glory nd energy IJN. Gdmrn dearest heart, miz u nd need you.” viii) On
30/01/2008 at 5:00am, the Respondent sent the Co-Respondent the following: “Msg
4 u, Gdmurn son dis is God! I will be handling all ur problems, anxieties etc
2day. I will not need ur help so av a gud day, Gdmrn dearest heart, I LOVE U.” ix)
On the same 30/ 01/2008 at 6:00 am, the Co-Respondent sent the following to the
Respondent: “Bowun Aresa ko jiire I don’t care. Bowun Orangun Ila ko jiire
ABUSEABUSE. Aa jiire bi OLOLUFE? Eni a san e si owo, omo, Alaafia. Riri se e
oni duro loruko Jesu.” (Meaning: if Aresa wishes, he may wake in peace, I care
not. If it pleases Orangun Ila, he may rise in peace. May today bring you peace
and prosperity, your prosperity shall not cease in Jesus’ name.). x) On
4/2/2008 at 4:45 am, the Respondent sent the following to the Co-Respondent
while the Respondent was at Ile Oluji in Ondo State ostensibly on a visit to
her father’s house: “Woke up now nd realised dat ave learnt 2 be patient,
humble, hardworking, friendly, loyal, honest and optimistic. But I’m afraid ave
still not learnt how 2 stop LUVIN or missing u. Am missing u Badly, Gdmrn,
takia nd stay blessed LUV.” Mr. Fadoju also stated in the petition that despite
all the facts stated above, he attended the burial ceremony of his wife’s
grandfather in Ile Oluji in Ondo State on the 6th day of December
2008 and while there, he caught his wife and Mr. Akinterinwa chatting and
hugging at the North gate to the venue. Mr. Fadoju disclosed that he
interrupted the rendezvous after which Akinterinwa hurriedly left the venue to
mobilize political thugs, hoodlums and miscreants numbering about twenty who
unleashed serious attack and mayhem on him. Fadoju disclosed that he was
thoroughly beaten by the thugs who also vandalized the musical instruments of Juju
musician, Admiral Dele Abiodun thus bringing the party to an abrupt end. The
petitioner averred that the news of the injury inflicted on him spread to Ondo
Town, bringing him to shame, ridicule and disrepute. He also disclosed that
since the day he was attacked, he could no longer attend any social gathering
in Ile Oluji and even Ondo Town for fear of a repeat occurrence. Fadoju also
stated in the petition that since the fight between him and Akintrerinwa and
his cohorts, his wife has increased her intolerable manners against him. Fadoju
also alleged that despite his wife’s refusal to have sexual intercourse with
him without the use of condom, she went without his knowledge or consent to a
medical doctor at the request of the co-respondent and inserted coil in her private
part to prevent her from getting pregnant. Fadoju is praying the court to
dissolve the marriage between him and his wife on the ground that the marriage
has broken down irretrievably. Another ground on which he is seeking the
dissolution of the marriage is that his wife has committed adultery with
several people including Wale Akinterinwa of Awoseyi Street, near Gboluyi
Street. He is also seeking an order of the court granting the custody of the
children to him. Though the case has been adjourned twice due to the absence of
the trial judge, Justice Bolajoko Adeniji, the next hearing has however been
fixed for March, 21 2012. It was also revealed that the former Finance
Commissioner had earlier been linked with the crumbling of one marriage. Then
it was alleged that a certain lady, Yetunde Abdul had issues with her husband
who had noticed that Akinterinwa was always sending her text messages very
early in the morning. It was gathered that the marriage eventually packed up
