“We Live in Fear”: Lebanese Wife of AA Oil CEO Alhaji Aliyu Abubakar Appeals for Government Intervention

Mrs. Suheir Aliyu Abubakar, the Lebanese wife of prominent businessman and CEO of AA Oil, Alhaji Aliyu Abubakar, has issued a passionate appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the Ministry of Women Affairs, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, members of the National Assembly, and other well-meaning Nigerians to intervene in what she describes as a “worsening and traumatic” situation threatening her safety and that of her children.

According to Mrs. Abubakar, her marital troubles intensified after her husband issued multiple court summons containing conflicting claims regarding the status of their marriage. One summon reportedly indicated that he no longer wished to continue with the union and had accepted an abandonment dating back to 2017. Another summon dated November 14 allegedly stated that the marriage ended in 2018, urging the court to confirm the divorce and compelling her to vacate their residence.

She said these contradictory legal actions have left her confused and vulnerable, heightening her fears of being forcefully removed from her home without adequate protection for herself and her children.

Mrs. Abubakar accused her husband of subjecting her to prolonged emotional distress and neglect, noting that she has endured escalating threats that could leave her and her children homeless. She narrated how the situation further deteriorated when her husband allegedly threatened to evict them from the house, an experience she described as traumatic and deeply unsettling.

“I am living in fear. I don’t know what will happen next. I just want safety for myself and my children,” she pleaded.

Calling for immediate intervention, the Lebanese mother implored authorities, human rights advocates, and concerned Nigerians to help prevent what she believes is an attempt to wield power and influence to render her and her children destitute.

As the marital dispute deepens, Mrs. Abubakar says her greatest concern remains the uncertainty surrounding their welfare and the possibility of being left on the streets without shelter or protection.
