Mercy Johnson's PR agency, Big Sam just confirmed to me that Prince Odianosen Okojie has formally divorced his estranged wife, Lovely Okojie.
According to BigSam, the divorce was finalized on Tuesday 23 August, 2011, at the Igueben Area Customary Court, in Benin, Edo State.
Mercy and Odi's court wedding which was scheduled for yesterday didn't hold.
They are skipping that part and concentrating on the traditional and white wedding which will hold tomorrow and next respectively. The venues? It's guarded, sorry...:-). Only close friends and family are privy to that information. All the best to Mercy and Odi.
Meanwhile a popular blogger(Linda Ikeji) spoke to Lovely Okojie about this news and this was her response,,,
Odi and I are divorced? (laughs). I never signed any divorce papers. No member of my family signed any divorce papers. In fact there was no court hearing on Tuesday August 23. There was a hearing last week Wednesday where my father, sister, and lawyer represented me, but the case was postponed to Monday August 22. My family members didn't show up on that day. So who signed the divorce papers? Also how can a court in Edo State divorce us when we got married in Italy? The only way Odi can divorce me is to go to the courts in Italy after a 3-year official separation or ask Italy to transfer the case to Nigeria, which I have told him to do, but he would rather bribe a court in Nigeria to dissolve the marriage, which is not legally binding. If we are truly divorced, tell him to produce the divorce certificate,,,,,
Where do they go from here??We seriously want this matter to be put to rest,,,,guys what do you think???
why u marry this girl?tell me true.
