According to NAN, she met Mufutau in 2005 and got pregnant:

“At the beginning he was nice and responsible.

When he impregnated me he began beating me whenever I asked for ante-natal money.

I left his house after delivery and hooked up with Saheed who also turned me to a punching bag after our second child together.

I went back to Mufutau and we had another child but Saheed couldn’t let me go, so I started dating the both of them with no issues, until they met at my apartment.”

She prayed the court to grant her a divorce from Mufutau because he was uncaring and had stopped giving her money for child support since the fight with his rival.

Mufutau did not contest the dissolution. He said,

“Modinat is a shameless woman.

I was not aware she still dates Saheed, I just want custody of my first child.”
