Saheed Balogun drags ex-wife, Fathia to court

Saheed Balogun Drags Ex-Wife, Fathia To Court Over Her Refusal To Drop His Name

Nollywood actor Saheed Balogun has reportedly dragged his ex-wife Fathia Balogun to court over her refusal to stop bearing his last name, years after their marriage ended.

According to Punch, Saheed Balogun had once said in an interview that he would stop her Fathia Balogun, from using his name when he was ready, saying:

“She is my ex. As for my name that she is still answering, the deed will be done soon. The Nigerian law says that after three or four years, you can do something about it. If somebody wants to keep my name, what of the new person coming in?

This has nothing to do with grudges.”

And now, it seems Saheed is ready to do something about his threat.

Fathia on the other hand is insisting that nobody could stop her from using her name.

Fathia had said last year in an interview:

“I laugh, my name is Fathia Balogun and it’s going to remain Balogun; nobody can ever change that and nobody can stop me from answering that name.”

When Saturday Beats contacted Saheed and Fathia to confirm they are in court, both refused to talk about it.
