At No Point Did I Ever Refuse The Execution Of Divorce Papers – Adeniyi Johnson

There was an online report yesterday, that a close source to actress, Toyin Abraham’s lawyer last year had reached out to her estranged husband, Adeniyi Johnson about their divorce. But instead of coming with his lawyer, Adeniyi went to the venue of the meeting at Ikeja City Mall alone.

However, Adeniyi has released a statement through his PR, Shawtty Natt Media revealing that Toyin’s lawyer never mentioned anything like divorce papers.

Read the statement below:

It is quite appalling to read some unfounded reports online about me in respect of my marital issues with @toyin_abraham.
It is needless to re-emphasize that being together in the institution of marriage is a matter of choice and interest. In a situation where things do not work out anymore and the relationship has broken-down irretrievably, truth is the best virtue.

Out of honour, i choose to put up this reaction/ disclaimer for the benefit of the interested public and the future that is unknown.

In relation to the execution of a divorce paper and all other processes connected thereto, I find it funny as to how low the concerned party would lay cheap claims to score points that I refused to sign papers. At no point in time did I ever refuse the execution of divorce papers. All that only occurred was an abortive mediation meeting held at Ikeja City Mall.

Her former counsel and I agreed to meet for talks, as he wanted to facilitate reconciliation between I and Toyin at Ikeja City Mall; he never mentioned anything like divorce papers.
It was after the meeting that I called him several times to make proper arrangement for the divorce process, only for me to be told that toyin herself asked him (the lawyer) to still hold on.

It is imperative to note that, for several months and till date, it is my counsel who has been chasing the other party. Her decision to create drama on the media is nothing but an “appeal to public sympathy”

It is rather funny how some copy and paste bloggers post without verifying and to the social media commenters who read and comment without knowing the truth …. is shoprite the court of law where papers are signed? Divorce paper of all documents
I therefore reiterate that i am willing to sign the divorce papers once a proper forum for its execution is communicated to my lawyer.

Further more I challenged the other party to post the said letter on the internet with the date so all claims can be verified thank goodness your counsel can be contacted
God bless us all

However, this was what went viral online yesterday:

“Toyin’s Lawyer had called Niyi to finalise the divorce. Instead of Niyi’s lawyer contacting Toyin’s, Niyi showed up at the meeting alone without his lawyer at the mall in Ikeja. After deliberations and discussions, Niyi said he would like to consult some people first and he should be allowed to get in touch with his lawyer and agreed to get back to them.

When they didn’t hear from him, Toyin tried reaching out to him personally to sort the issue but as we speak Toyin is yet to hear from him as well.” he said.

It would be recalled that Adeniyi and Toyin’s marriage crashed last year and they have both moved on.
