AT LAST! Saidi Balogun And Faithia Williams Divorced; Divorce Papers Attached

It’s official: Saidi Balogun and Faithia Zenabu Williams are divorced, E24-7 MAGAZINE reports.

The divorce was effective as of January 17, 2014, and surprisingly to fans and friends who had wished for a comeback, the estranged couple has kept a sealed lips for the past two years.

E24-7Magazine confirmed the legal status of the troubled marriage in a document with the judgment on the divorce signed off by a judge, finalising the end of the six years old union.
The divorce trailed several years of allegations and counter-allegations of infidelity and battery between the couple which culminated in an ugly split.

The former sweethearts got married on September 7th, 2000, at the Ikorodu Marriage Registry, Lagos and were blessed with two children- a boy and a girl.

Saidi in his 40s had filed a petition seeking for a divorce in April 12, 2013, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ and maintained that Faithia had deserted him for a continuous period, over one year before 2006 when both parties have lived apart.

The You or I actor also averred in his petition that Faithia  Williams had treated him in such a way that it can no longer be reasonably expected to live with her under the same roof as husband and wife.
The famous actor therefore sought among others in his petition, the order of the court to dissolve the marriage and also to be given unfettered access to the children of the marriage.
In his judgment in the suit No: HD/132/13, Justice O.O. Atilade granted petitioner’s request and ordered that Saidi Balogun should have unrestrained access to the two children of the marriage-  Khalid Olalekan Balogun and Aaliyah Balogun- during and after school holidays, anywhere they may be  and subject to agreement  between both parties. Throughout the proceedings, none of the parties made any appearance in court.

E24-7Magazine’s checks further revealed Saidi has since remarried. His wife is  Funke  Elegushi, a younger sister to HRM Oba Saheed Elegushi, Kusenla III of Ikate land, Lagos. The union is over a year old, and they live together in their Magodo GRA, Lagos home.

While Faithia moved to Medina Estate, Gbagada, Lagos, immediately after the separation, she has been romantically linked with several men in and outside the movie industry, especially marketers, though she has vehemently denied this, especially her dalliance with Femi Adebayo.

I'm sorry to say this but that is the way it should be, the two of them should be banned from acting because they do not possess good characters required from public figures like them or what do they have to teach us again after disgracing themselves in the public despite several pleads by friends, colleagues, fans and well-wishers.  This is too bad.
