gone to a Lagos High Court seeking for the
dissolution of their 13-year-old marriage that
produced three daughters.
The couple also seek the sharing of their
properties...
The couple in their petition are accusing each
other of infidelity and constant quarreling which resulted in the divorce suit at the court.
The suit was still pending at the court when the thugs invaded the factory kown as Multicraft Interior located at 14, Alhaji Lukeman Atobajeun Street, Ajao Estate and pulled down the structure.
Items worth millions of naira were destroyed
during the demolition exercise.
While the demolition was going on, Mr. Ifeanyi contacted the DPO, CSP Ade Adedeji who mobilised his men and arrested the thugs.
The thugs were led by a jonior Air Force office who the estranged wife is allegedly dating. He escaped.
At the police station, Blessing confessed that she contracted those who went to demolish the place because the land belonged to her. She however admitted that there was no court order to demolish the place except the one she obtained from Alausa.

indicated that the land was listed among other
properties to be determined by the court in the
divorce suit.
Mr Ifeanyi also said he was not given any prior notice of demolition from any quarters before the action.
The suspected thugs have been charged to Court while Blessing has been arrested.
