Super Eagles goalkeeper’s wife accuses husband, mistress of threat to her life
Tosin Ojo, wife of Super Eagles goalkeeper Olorunleke Ojo, has accused her husband and his alleged mistress, Precious Daniels, of threatening her life and that of their children.
In a Facebook post on Monday, Tosin claimed that since her husband made money from the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations, she has faced constant distress in her marriage.
She alleged that Daniels had influenced Ojo against her, urging him to harm her and their children.
“If anything happens to me or my children, please hold my husband, Olorunleke Ojo, and his side chick, Precious Daniels, responsible,” Tosin wrote, further alleging that Daniels supplied charms to her husband.
Tosin, who married Olorunleke in 2016, recounted incidents where the goalkeeper allegedly broke into her bedroom and displayed strange behaviour before leaving to lodge with his mistress.
Olorunleke, who plays for Al-Merrikh Sporting Club of Sudan and was Nigeria’s third-choice goalkeeper at AFCON 2023, has since denied the allegations.
In a statement on Wednesday, he described his wife’s claims as “grave, false, and malicious,” insisting he had supported her financially and made efforts at reconciliation.
“The truth is that the problems in our marriage began long before now. Despite this, I consistently sought reconciliation. I provided for my wife and children, including a monthly upkeep, rent, school fees, and medical bills,” Olorunleke stated.
He also accused his wife of repeatedly denying him access to their children and rejecting attempts at peaceful resolution through family and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).
On the allegation of charms, the goalkeeper said: “It is malicious and unfounded to allege that I use charms, or that I seek to harm my wife and children. These accusations are not only damaging but dangerous.”
He appealed to the public not to rush to conclusions, stressing that the matter is already before the appropriate legal and security authorities.
“Even though the marriage has broken down irretrievably, my love and duty to my children remain unshaken,” he added.
