See Gobe singer, Davido’s father, Deji Adeleke, has been enmeshed in a divorce mess with his second wife.

On Monday, November 16, the divorce case
between billionaire business tycoon, Deji
Adeleke against his wife Adepeju Margaret
Adeleke came up at the State High Court,
Ede, Osun State.
Deji Adeleke who is the petitioner is seeking
for divorce on reasons interalia that friends
and family members are against the union
and was filed by Adeleke in March 2014 while
the case began in June same year.

During the court hearing, four major drama
happened.
1. Because of Davido’s father, other cases
preceding the divorce case were stepped
down by the judge giving the reason for the
distance Davido’s father travelled for the
hearing.
Justice A. O. Oguntade of the Federal High
Court, Ede, Osun state had before the
proceeding started adjourned four cases
listed for his attention and gave reasons that
lawyers in the other cases are residents in
Osun while those involved in the divorce case
would have to return to Lagos hence his
decision to adjourn other cases.

2. Lawyers Tackled Judge Over Adjournment
of four other cases.
Lawyer to the respondent, Kemi Pinhero
(SAN) leveled allegations of bias against the
judge. Pinhero questioned the Judge’s ability
to perform his constitutional functions and
hold an even scale between the parties.
Pinhero wondered why a divorce case listed
and a land case of 2010 should be adjourned
to hurriedly single out the Adeleke /
Margaret’s case for consideration and that
matrimony cases should not ordinarily earn
fast track status above land matters.
3. Journalists were sent out of the court
room.
Davido’s father lawyer, Barrister Wale Afolabi,
called the attention of the judge to the
journalists that stormed the court room. This
made Justice Oguntade send all journalists
out of the court room.
4. Relatives of the respondent and the
petitioner were locked out for lateness.
Relatives of both parties who arrived later
also had a taste of the Justice Oguntade’s
anger as he gave an order that nobody
should be allowed entry into the Court. They
were later allowed into the court after being
identified as non-journalists.
5. The court gallery was cleared before the
proceedings began.
Margaret Adeleke is Davido’s dad second
wife who he married in 2011. The billionaire’s
first wife, Davido’s mum, late Veronica
Adeleke died on March 6, 2003.
