Nollywood actress, Toyin
Aimakhu, has finally responded to allegations by her ex-husband, Adeniyi (Niyi)
Johnson, of her refusal to sign divorce papers.
Adeniyi had on Wednesday
shared a post on social media, accusing Toyin of refusal to sign the divorce
papers.
He wrote: “We were to sign
divorce papers on November 1st, you didn’t come. The case was postponed to
January 10th, only for your manager, Sam, to call me that you want to
discontinue the case in Shagamu and restart in Ibadan. Madam why?
“Till date, I did no
interview, except the one on Rubbin Minds, and yet tolerated all the names you
called me. Why not let me go after three years? Why are you shifting the case,
so we start all over again?
“No letter from the court
about the discontinuation of the case, even your lawyer isn’t aware you are
taking such a step. Na manager dey call us.
“I admit to all the names
and accusations. Toyin, can you please let me go? The delay tactic is tiring. I
see my quietness being taken for granted and is making people assume, I’m the
bad egg.”
In response, Toyin took to
her Instagram page to warn her ex-husband against sharing details of their
divorce process on social media.
She wrote: “Dear Niyi
Johnson, I’m forced to respond to you here because you mentioned my name, so I
will be returning the favour. In all my years of dealing with the entertainment
industry, I carefully avoid the drama that goes with the terrain. And this includes
years of dealing with big brands.
” Some of these brands have
warned me to avoid some people from the Yoruba industry because of the
attendant, unnecessary drama and here you are proving them right and giving the
noble Yoruba industry bad name. You have my number, you have the number of the
lawyer, and I believe you have Toyin’s number as well.
“This unnecessary call for
attention and social media shenanigans are unnecessary. You see why people
don’t dignify your ilk with phone calls, SMS or courtesy, it always ends on
social media.
“People are doing great
things in real life, not Instagram drama. Two, a simple call to your lawyer
would tell you that what Lawyer Bosun called you for is the beginning of trial
(court proceedings) not to come and sign divorce papers. Divorce doesn’t work
like that.
“Three, if you desperately
want a divorce, you should have filed one not Toyin; perhaps the over 1m naira
cost deterred you. Toyin chose to bear the cost, pay her lawyer the fee and has
taken the case to a considerable point. She has shown more commitment to the
divorce proceedings than you.
“In more than three years
of separation, you just filed a “cross petition” last month while she has been
at it in the court for over a year. She has “allowed you go” a long time and we
all can see what that has done to her life and career.
“Please come down from your
Instagram high horse, real court issues happen outside of social media. She
changed lawyer and he has moved faster than we anticipated. It was out of courtesy
that I called you to ask for your address.
” I told you I’d call for
if there is any new development. And a piece of advice from me, you need to
stop using your past relationship to generate talkability, you have talents and
a new relationship, they should be enough. That is what you should focus on;
stop focusing on what you don’t have, what you have should be enough.”
Abraham and Johnson got
married on Monday, July 8, 2013, at the Ikoyi Registry, Lagos. The actress
“filed for divorce on the grounds of infidelity in August 2015,” Johnson had
written on his Instagram stories.
