July 2, 2024 11:52 amAlison Madueke, a former chief of naval staff, has filed a petition before the Lagos state high court, seeking to stop Diezani, former minister of petroleum, from using his last name.
Madueke said he did not object to the divorce, which led to the marriage being formally dissolved by the court on April 13, 2022. However, Diezani continues to go by his last name. Madueke said he directed his legal representatives to serve Diezani a formal request on December 14, 2023, demanding that she cease using his surname and revert to Agama, her maiden name.“The respondent has continued to hold out herself as the wife of the petitioner even when the marriage has been dissolved,” the petition reads.“The respondent is undergoing criminal trials in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom. The charge in Nigeria is Suit No. FUC/ABI/CR/208/2010.
“The respondent’s continued use of the petitioner’s first and surname falsely suggests to the public a continuing relationship between the parties though same has since legally ended.“The respondent’s continued use of the petitioner’s first and family names poses a significant risk of legal and financial harm to the petitioner.
