Precious Chikwendu, the estranged wife of Femi Fani-Kayode,
has started an online petition to demand custody of her children with the
former aviation minister.
Fani-Kayode and Chikwendu’s marriage hit the rock in 2020
over her domestic violence claim and his counter-claim of infidelity.
They have been in a heated tussle for the custody of their
children — Aragorn, Ragnar, Aiden, and Liam — since the marriage crashed.
In the petition, titled ‘Justice for Snowhite and Sons‘, the ex-beauty
asked the United Nations (UN), Amnesty International, United Nations Children’s
Fund (UNICEF), and United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
to intervene in the matter.
Other agencies named in the petition include Human Rights
Campaign, Child Right Advocacy, Project Alert and Women Advocacy.
According to Chikwendu, the petition was initiated to help
bring “her problem before the international community.”
The entrepreneur added that it would also help other African
women who share similar experiences with her.
“This petition would
help African women who have been denied a right to their children because they
were married to or cohabited with a person of power,” it read.
“This petition would put an end to bullying and oppression
from political spouses who have the power and means to oppress and frustrate
their partners out of the lives of their growing children who need the love and
care of both parents.
“Precious is seeking justice and custody of her children.
This bill will help her bring her problem before the International community.”
As of the time of this report, 9,266 people have signed the petition, which targets 10,000 signatures.
