Photos: Chaos as Court grants Ogun state speaker custody of his 8 year old son born by his mistress

There was a shouting match in the Customary Court at Agbeloba area of Abeokuta, Ogun State yesterday which degenerated into a fight following the declaration by the court that an 8 year old son, whose mum is one Iyabo Adedotun, a former mistress of the Ogun state House of Assembly speaker, Suraj Adekunbi (pictured above), be handed over to him. Iyabo had dragged Suraj to court for allegedly threatening her life over their love child.



During the hearing of the case, Iyabo who is a staff of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, told the court that her former lover of 10 years and baby daddy had failed to live up to his responsibilities and had also prevented her from marrying any other person.

She asked the court to grant a retraining order so Suraj can stop threatening her.

On his part, the speaker through his counsel asked the court to grant him custody of their child. The three-member court panel granted Suraj's wish and ordered that the child be handed over to him.

An angry Iyabo upon hearing the judgement started to shout and insisted she was never going to give up her son. One of her colleagues who tried to protect her and prevent the court from taken her child from her was beaten up. When the situation was becoming more chaotic, the police was invited while NSCDC staff also stormed the court in their number to protect their colleague.

A weeping Iyabo expressed dissatisfaction at the court ruling, asking if she will ever see her child again.

    1. That's what happens when ur a top shot in this country, u will always win in court. I hope she wasn't also using the son against the father. I also think it's best for her to give the man his son, go and get married so she could start a new life. Like how many men in Nigeria would want to marry a woman with attachments, let's be honest.

  8. so unfortunate, something that started sweet is turning soar at the end; if only they can understand that the life of this child means more and what is happening now can change her life for good or bad in the future. God help them.

  9. some people are so hardless, how do you expect a woman who had carried a child in her womb for months and even took care of him after birth without any support from the so-called father to just hand over the child one day to him because he is the father, where was he all these while? He just waited for his right time to come and inherit the child like a portion of land or inheritance? God have mercies.

  12. The judgement is so unfair, I feel so bad for Iyabo......can't she get help elsewhere? This is sad

  13. That's an injustice of the highest order. The man doesn't have such right, in as much as they're not legally married except if it's a mutual agreement between the lovers. My opinion though, I stand to be corrected. The man is wicked.

  14. APC autocratic rule in display, how can you give full custody of an 8 yr old to the father when the mother is fully alive and capable of taking care of her son? i'm sure he's an APC member, power show is in their blood...

  18. This is injustice to the highest level. Because he is in power? Did he marry her in anyway. What wickedness is this. They claim change but look at the manner of impunity going on. Linda let us shout till she gets justice. The judge must have been Bribed. APC my left foot. INJUSTICE. The child is underaged for God's sake. God punish this man for causing this woman so much pain. Let him enter lagos and come and fight for a child. Let thunder destroy him and the useless judge that gave this wicked judgement. the idiotic police that is beating people up will not see kidnapers or armed robber to deal with. This is the kind of fight they will enter. Go to america or UK and see if this will ever happen. IDIOTS!!!!

  22. There is no justice in Nigeria. Well, when you make yourself a second fiddle by dating a married man. She was a mistress right?

  23. See the irresponsible men making laws for us. The judiciary is so corrupt.

  24. CHERYL (aka FROM GLORY TO GLORY). You are a wicked person! How dare you say such a terrible thing. So she should forget her child? What do you mean by calling the child "an attachment" and what do you mean by saying men will not marry women who already have a child or children? What backward century are you living in? There is no glory of God on your kind and He forgive you for your judgmental ignorance!!!!

  25. Since when? This is illegal. I wonder how much the customary court judge was paid. A reputable law firm must take up her case pro bono ASAP.

  26. Na wa o customary court has sold judgment to the highest bidder. God dey o.

  27. Justice has always been a comedy in Nigeria. Useless man indeed. It doesn't matter if she is a side chick after all the man is an adulterer, the child shouldn't be taken from his mum unless the lady is legally or medically unfit to provide care for her son. Rubbish country. Shameful change

  29. What the law says in this matter should prevail please. Man cannot have a baby by himself so also a woman let them have joint custody of the child and let peace reign. Move the child life forward.
