Nigerian Celebrity Files for Divorce
The tempestuous marriage of media personality, Toke Makinwa, to her ex-husband, Maje Ayida, has finally been dissolved by an Igbosere High Court in Lagos on Thursday.
Toke had filed for divorce in March 2016 on grounds that her husband committed adultery.
Mr. Ayida, according to judge, Morenike Obadina, filed an answer to the petition but did not give oral evidence to support it. She said the position of the law was settled as pleadings did not amount to evidence
"Pleadings on which no evidence was led are deemed abandoned. Therefore, Ayida's evidence is deemed abandoned. The effect is that the petitioner's evidence is unchallenged and uncontroverted," she ruled.
