Olorunleke Ojo, Super Eagles Goalkeeper, has denied the allegation that he plans to harm his wife, Tosin, and their children in connivance with his mistress identified as Precious Daniel.
Tosin, who took to her Facebook Page, in an emotional post, alleged that her husband, who currently plays for a Sudanese club side, Al-Merrikh SC, has not only abandoned his marital responsibilities but has also, in connivance with another woman, turned to charms to harm her and their two children.
She claimed the situation has reached a dangerous level, and asked the public, her family, and friends to hold Olorunleke and Precious responsible if anything happens to her or their children.
She wrote, “If anything happens to me or my children, please hold my husband, Olorunleke Ojo, and his side chick, Precious Daniels, responsible.
“My life and that of my children is (sic) now in their hands. I’ve been through a lot lately. My tears will fight you, Leke, if anything happens to me and my children.”
Tosin durther appealed to her husband to allow her and the children to live in peace, stating that she was not trying to stop him from being with his lover.
“I’m not stopping you from following Precious Daniels, but please, free me and my children in peace. If you succeed in killing me, at least you will rest, but my spirit will haunt you.”
But the 30-year old Goalkeeper has taken to his Facebook page and dismissed his wife’s claims as “grave, false, and malicious.” He accused her of damaging his name, career, and mental health.
The Nigerian third-choice goalkeeper at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Côte d’Ivoire, however, admitted that their marriage has long-standing issues for which he has consistently sought reconciliation.
“The truth is that the problems in our marriage began long before now,” he wrote. “Despite this, I supported her in every way — financially, emotionally, and morally.”
He stated that he has been paying his wife a monthly upkeep of ₦250,000, alongside covering rent, school fees, and medical bills.
“I even advised her to take a break from work for her own safety and that of our children. I invited her several times to spend time with me while I was away, but she declined, yet travelled to other states for work and personal matters,” he added.
Ojo said it was “completely unfounded” to suggest he used charms or intended to harm his wife and children. “These accusations are not only damaging but dangerous. They expose me to ridicule and public hostility,” he wrote.
Ojo further condemned the trend of resolving domestic disputes on social media, urging Tosin to approach the courts if she had genuine grievances.
“If my wife has any complaint, social media is not a court of law. She can take up her claims before a competent court with proof,” he wrote. “Public drama and falsehoods only destroy the future of the children and further damage whatever peace remains.”
He described the social media posts as defamatory and harmful, not just to him but to their children.
The Goalkeeper has however called for calm and asked the public to stop spreading unverified claims.
“I am a father, a son, and a human being. I have done my best to act responsibly,” he said.
Ojo and his Wife, Tosin tied the nuptial knot in 2016. The Union has produced two kids.
