Former Enyimba goalkeeper Olorunleke Ojo has approached a State High Court sitting in Lokoja for the dissolution of his nine-year marriage.
According to Kogi Reports, the Super Eagles goalkeeper failed to turn up for the case during the hearing at Court 6 on Thursday, July 24.
The presiding officer, Justice Ada has adjourned the case till October 2025 when the judiciary resumes for legal matters.
The former Super Eagles’ wife is currently the Team Manager of Confluence Queens of Lokoja. Ojo had earlier admitted to committing adultery outside his marriage in the case file.
What transpired between the duo? The relationship between Ojo Olorunleke and Tosin Ojo turned south immediately after the player returned from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.
According to OwoSports, the AFCON silver medallist failed to return to his family in Lokoja, allegedly residing with his Abuja-based girlfriend, Precious Daniel.
Reports have it that Daniel published pictures of herself and the Super Eagles star on social media, which generated a crisis in his family.
His wife, Tosin Ojo, confronted him, with Olorunleke allegedly admitting to having extramarital affairs with the Benue-born model, per Nigerian Post.
Efforts to reconcile the player and his wife by family and friends have proved abortive. Well-wishers react Suleiman Malik Babanawa said: “Why, what is happening to Leke? He was doing well and went to Sudan, then his troubles began, lost his place in the Super Eagle, got injured in Sudan and now losing his wife.
“He should go for prayers and seek forgiveness from his wife, she has sacrificed a lot for him and his children.”
