New information have now emerged on why Adekaz married a second wife, 20 years after he got married to the mother of his four children, Funsho 20 years ago in the US.
A licensed Mortgage Broker, Adekaz decided relocating to Nigeria to start up a business in movie productions.
According to sources in the US, who were close to the estranged couple, problems started with the idea of relocation.
“He came with his wife, Funsho who later went back to the US, saying she didn’t want to stay in Nigeria. The marriage was on till the wife, Funsho refused coming over and her husband kept pressing for her to be around. He told her point blank that he would marry another wife if she didn’t return as agreed. Well, she didn’t and there was a strain on the relationship.
A good father, Adekaz still carried out his duties as a father and would pay school fees and foot other bills over there. Funsho can never say that he neglected her because she was the one adamant on not returning to Naija,” sources exclusively told Kemi Ashefon.
With a strained relationship, the couple knew the marriage would hit the rock as long as the wife stays abroad.
But Funsho came to beg her husband in 2021 and even persuaded him to celebrate her birthday with her. That was when they took the couple photos six months ago.
“Yet, Adekaz kept telling her to return permanently here but she disagreed. He told her he would remarry and she wouldn’t tell the world this marriage to Mercy was a surprise. Why is she playing the victim and vilifying her husband on social media? Why is she proving that she was betrayed by him? Would she deny travelling to Naija and not getting in touch with her husband who would call her phone incessantly and not get a response?
Funsho knows that her husband is a peace-loving man and would not want trouble. Why didn’t she return to stay with him here in Nigeria?
That Adekaz married Mercy doesn’t mean they had been dating since she was in Gentry’s house. So, why did Mercy sent a birthday message last year to him with the caption, ‘Happy birthday sir’?
If Funsho really wanted her marriage to work she would have returned many years ago. But she was in Minnesota. Their firstborn is in a private University in the US with her father paying the fees. Their other kids are also not abandoned. Adekaz is a Muslim, he has every right to marry more than one wife,” sources said.
