A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has ended the union between Paul Okoye of the P-Square musical group and his estranged wife, Anita. 

Anita, while filing for divorce, claimed that cheating, separation, being an absent father, fraud, and difficult experiences were her major reasons for seeking the dissolution of her marriage to the ace singer.

She asked in her petition that the court award a monthly settlement of $20,000 and a number of her husband’s properties.

Anita through her lawyers also claimed in her petition that she had contributed N10 million as an agreement with her husband that she would be granted space at the mall he had just completed in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.

The petition reads in part, “That I know as a fact that the petitioner founded a company called TannkCo in 2019.

“That the petitioner and the respondent agreed to build a mall where TannkCo would have its main offices, and the petitioner contributed N10,000,000.00 (Ten Million Naira) for the purchase of the land and the building of the mall.

“That I know as a fact that the respondent, upon completion of the mall, reneged on the agreement and failed to give TannkCo a space in the mall.”

However, Anita later withdrew the claims and chose to settle following the alleged inability to prove all of the claims in her petition to the court.

The court, while ruling in the case, granted joint custody of the children to the duo.
