The Civil Societies Coalition for Emancipation
of Osun State has risen in defence of Justice
Folahanmi Oloyede, who one Mrs. Emily
Richard-Obire, accused of snatching her
husband.
The group in a statement made available to our
correspondent on Tuesday said it had
investigated and found out that Justice (Mrs.)
L.A.M. Folami of Ikeja High Court had since
dissolved the marriage between the woman and
her former husband.
In the statement signed by Chairman and its
Director of Mobilisation, Adeniyi Sulaiman and
Rev. Theophilus Ayodeji, the group said going
by the query dated July 28, 2015 issued to the
judge by the National Judicial Council, it
appeared that the NJC was falling into the
antics of politicians by turning the body into a
customary court where marital issues were
settled.
They said the woman’s former husband was
free to fall in love with anybody he chose,
while criticising the woman’s counsel, Mr.
Femi Falana, for allegedly digging up the case
to discredit the judge.
The group accused Falana of working for
Governor Rauf Aregbesola to disparage the
judge because of her petition to the House of
Assembly that the governor should be
impeached.
The statement read, “Our group has thoroughly
investigated that matter and found out that
Mr. Falana was a lawyer to Mrs. Richard-Obire
in the divorce case filed with her husband, Mr.
Ricahrd Obire in 2012 at an Ikeja High Court in
Lagos.
“Already, the case with suit number
ID/473HD/2012 has been decided and the
court, presided over by Justice (Mrs) L.A.M.
Folami had legally dissolved this marriage
between Mrs Emily and her former husband
and so the case remained closed. We believe
that by the law of the federation, Mr. Obire
has the right in the world to love whomever he
wants and to marry anyone without any
prejudice.
“Our group has it on good authority that
Emily’s husband, Mr. Richard Obire, had to file
a divorce case because he caught his wife
(Emily) having an extra- marital affair with
another man outside their wedlock in Ikeja,
Lagos State in year 2010.
“(Although) we are sure that the woman judge
was able to defend herself as our check at the
state High Court indicated that she had replied
to this query through the office of the
Chairman of the State Judicial Commission.”
The coalition said members of the group were
not surprised that politicians were fighting
dirty because of the courage of the judge to
tackle the governor based on issues of
financial recklessness, but said it was surprised
that the NJC allowed itself to be used by these
unscrupulous politicians.
The statement further read, “We raised the
alarm few weeks ago about the over
N4.7billion being raised through Operation
Save Rauf Aregbesola Project to bribe the NJC
members and other stakeholders against Justice
Oloyede and with the recent happenings, we
hope that the NJC will be able to watch its
linen clean in the messy Osun affairs.
“Is it not an irony that several serious issues
and many petitions bordering on judicial
misconduct against many judges across the
country are before the NJC unattended to, yet,
the NJC had all the time to intervene in a
marital matter of Justice Oloyede.
“If this matter had been on with Justice
Oloyede since 2011 as claimed by Mrs. Emily
Obire, why was she coming out now in 2015 to
send a petition to the NJC and at a time she
was fighting this battle with Mr. Rauf
Aregbesola?
“Justice Oloyede has the right to love and
marry whoever she wants under the law and
has the right to practise her religion without
any hindrance. We wonder how many family
matters NJC will need to settle among several
judges in the federation.
“We understand the diversionary tactics of
Aregbesola and his cronies over the weighty
evidences of corruption presented by this
erudite judge against the governor. But for the
NJC to have fallen into this trap beats our
imagination as coalition of civil societies.”

I have never seen a yoruba man with one wife all his life. Either he marries more than one wife or he marries, divorce, marries again, divorce and marries again. The same with their women. The marry differnt men, have children for different men in their life-time.

It is like that for all of them, ask wole soyinka, obasanjo, Abiola, K1 the ultimate, and Baba wole on the street there. If you want to get a yoruba man and woman for any atrocity like this justice oloyede's case, just dig into their marital life and it is over.

Some tribal bigots hovering......



Nitwits!

When I see my fellow yoruba folks defending the osun state guvnor, and ready to paint anyone black that opposes him it baffles me. It goes to tell about us. Protectionism even when its 4k clear that the man his wrong. Well its called birds of a feather. The law of homogeneous species.

And how is that your problem Mr Right? It is only a bigot like you that does not believe that there is no word like 'perfection' in the school of marriage. In other words, it is a University where one can never graduate irrespective of one's social status or intellect.

For your information, divorce and marital problems transcends race, colour, continents and tribe: why the attack on Yoruba while we know how Bianca Ojukwu became dustbin for FFK?

I won't go further more than here as doing do will offend some liberal minded people from your tribe. Happy birthday to me, a like from you is more than a gift worth million to me

Guess u are economical with facts here! you mentioned a few Yoruba elites who are in that categorically to achieve your myopic tribal hate!
Bisi Akande, Herbert Macauley, Bola Ige, Femi Awolowo, Rauf Aregbesola, Olagunsoye Iyinlola, Femi Otedola, Mike Adenuga, Tunji Braithwaithe, Ernest Shonekan, Pa Abraham Adesanya, and many more!
Seems you are so drunk in your tribal hate that you refuse to reason logically!
