John Fashanu And Ex-wife Abigail Divorce Saga by SassySteph(f): 11:34pm On Sep 12, 2015
Ex-England soccer star John Fashanu says he has been hit
with a £3million divorce court demand by his estranged
wife.

The former striker, nicknamed Fash the Bash for his
hardman reputation, claims Abigail Onyekwelu wants
£2.5million up front plus £10,000 a month.
Fash, 52, says she also wants him to buy a new motor of her
choice every two years.
But last night Abigail, 48, branded the star a “lunatic
dreamer” and said:
“I didn’t ask for anything cos there’s no point killing a dead
man.”
The bizarre war of words between the high-profile couple
broke out after Fashanu, a former team-mate of Vinnie
Jones in Wimbledon FC’s “Crazy Gang” era, described his
wife’s alleged demands as outrageous.


Speaking exclusively to the Sunday People, Fashanu said:
“She clearly wants her pound of flesh now, but financially
she did very well out of our marriage.
“I gave her £3,500 a month, I bought her a beautiful house
and a brand new Kia Jeep.
“She’s welcome to keep them, that’s no problem, but not a
share of my assets.
“We were only married for two years and we only actually
lived together for about the first month of that.
“For her to want £2.5million, it’s outrageous.”
But Abigail, who lives in Abuja, Nigeria, said:
“I’m the only good thing that has ever happened to his life
in the recent past. He came to my house with nothing.
“It is very unfortunate that I was in union with a lunatic, a
dreamer, a man suffering from temporal insanity.
“John Fashanu is just using this opportunity to hype
himself. My advice to him is to forget that we were once
married and move on.”
The divorce case is set to be heard at Abuja’s High Court
from September 22.


Fashanu, a former TV Gladiators host, earlier told the
Sunday People his wife tried to kill him with his Samurai
sword after she claimed to have found him bedding two
women at once, including their maid.
British-born Fashanu, now a businessman with interests in
London and Nigeria including a string of restaurants, said
last week:
“During the marriage, my sister was attacked and I was
stabbed in my hand and my foot.
“I was a nervous wreck – it should be me asking for
compensation.
“I’m sure the judge will make the right decision.”
Abigail, who denies all Fashanu’s allegations, insisted: “The
court papers will prove I’m not asking for anything.”
