Moyo Thomas, embattled ex-wife of late Tunde Thomas who reportedly died of heartbreak after he learned the two children from their marriage belongs to her boss has spoken up.

 

When news of the paternity scandal broke, it shook the internet and trended for days. Allegedly, FCMB MD Adamu Nuru, was having an illicit relationship with Moyo Thomas, a former employee of the bank.

Nuru also allegedly fathered the two children of the marriage. The scandal led to the removal of Adamu Nuru as the MD of FCMB after news of Tunde’s death broke.

Many upon seeing photos of the children are convinced they were indeed fathered by Nuru, insisting they bear a striking resemblance to him.

Moyo Thomas has now spoken up, calling the claims of paternity fraud as ridiculous and weird. She also insisted that the children are Tunde’s and still bear his surname.

 

In a statement Moyo Thomas said;

“I write in reference to all the allegations and accusations that have recently been making the rounds on the internet and various social media platforms. I have refrained from responding to this matter for various reasons. One of which is to preserve Tunde’s memories who departed to be with his maker on December 16, 2020. Memories, not only to me, but to his children, who are still young. And to everybody who had a relationship with him.

“Just like any marriage, Tunde and I had a lot of differences in our marriage, some of which even led to police intervention. But I remain committed to keeping only positive memories of him. No one can ever understand what transpired between us or what each of us experienced in the marriage; as they say, it is he who wears the shoes that knows where it pinches. In all of it, I never for once wished him bad. His untimely and sudden death is still a shock to me as it is to many others.”

“On no occasion did I ever tell him he was not the father of our two children. Therefore, it is deliberate falsehood and certainly malicious to allege and insinuate that I informed him that the children are not his. The children still bear his name. Only God knows why he died in an untimely period. It is not in my place, or anyone’s place to play God and talk with certainty about the cause of his death, without proven medical facts.

“Despite our separation, we never allowed our differences to affect the relationships we respectively have with the children. He still had conversations with the children like any father until his sudden and unfortunate death. It is quite sad and disheartening to see the pictures of these innocent children splashed all over the internet with very disparaging and weird comments.

“I do wish his family and friends the fortitude to bear the unfortunate loss. And I ask that we all be allowed to grieve his loss in peace. He has now been laid to rest and we implore all and sundry to please respect our privacy and allow those grieving his loss, including the children and I, to do so in peace.”

 

Meanwhile, Adamu Nuru is now on mandatory leave as an investigation into the allegation commences.
