Joel Ajayi
A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Monday adjourned to April 7, 2020, the hearing and judgment of the suit between popular Nigerian actor, Mike Ezuruonye and his wife, Nkechi, over who takes custody and maintenance of their children.
The Presiding Judge, Justice Samirah Umar Bature, after hearing on the plea of the complainant’s counsel and that of the defendant adjourned the case, to enable the two parties to reach a better agreement on the matter in question.
According to the Justice, this matter is adjourned till the 7th of April 2020 for the child’s maintenance and custody, it’s about the children and we need to deal with it carefully for the sake of their tomorrow.
“I want the two parties involved to go out and deliberate on the matter to have a stage of balance for the purpose of the kids.”
On his own, the defense counsel, Adedayo Adedeji expressed that his client is ready. “We have written our demands through their lawyer; we are waiting for their response. They are mature, they should all be thinking of a better future for these kids. Our concern is to reach a better agreement.
When asked if divorce is part of the case? Adedayo replied: “Well, when it comes to issuing of husband and wife, nobody can predict, I can’t say anything about that.”
Ezuruonye who got married to Nkechi in Lagos in 2010 has two children; a girl and a boy filed for divorce with his wife who he had allegedly abandoned abroad for months.
Unreliable reports pegged the reason for divorce to be connected with the allegation that his wife reportedly gave birth to an albino, which the Nigerian actor is denying the responsibility of.

Re:NYSC Shuns Applications By Southern Medical Corps Members Who “Desperately” Want To Redeploy From North Due To Insecurity
The attention of NYSC Management has been drawn to a story with the above caption, making the rounds on social media. The write-up is a misrepresentation of facts.
In a statement issued by the NYSC’s Deputy Director of Press and Public Relations Emeka Mgbemena on Sunday in Abuja said the report is misrepresentation of facts.
According to the statement, in accordance with the Relocation Policy of the Scheme, the exercise is carried out based on two grounds, namely; Marital and Health grounds.
Relocation on the ground of marriage is applicable only to female Corps Members. On the ground of health, the Corps Member’s medical history must be presented, with a written application.
It is imperative to state that in NYSC, all lives matter, just like the Director-General has emphasised on so many fora. The safety and well-being of Corps Members and members of staff remains of paramount importance to the Corps.
However, Corps Members at all times must also be security conscious and never treat their safety with levity, by unduly putting themselves in harm’s way through risky behaviours.
Rest assured, the Scheme in all matters on deployment of Corps Members, relies strictly on the advisories from the security agencies.
It is therefore advisable for clarifications to be sought from the Scheme on issues pertaining to its operations, to avoid the error of inaccurate reportage, or outright spread of falsehood and misinformation.
