An Ekiti State High Court Judge, Justice Oluwasegun Isaac Ogunyemi, is allegedly enmeshed in an adultery scandal.
According to the petitioner, Prof Babalola Abegunde who addressed journalists after the first hearing of his application in the Ekiti State high court, in Ado, alleged that Justice Ogunyemi was the brain behind the total breakdown of his marriage to the first respondent, Oluwatoyin Olayemi Abegunde, nee Olorunshola, who is a lawyer.
Abegunde said he had prayed the court for the dissolution of the marriage on the ground of adultery and non consummation of the marriage and intolerable behaviors.
He also asked for the custody of the last born of the marriage as well as damages to the tune of #200m against the second respondent, Justice Oluwasegun Ogunyemi, for committing adultery with the first respondent which had made the marriage intolerable.
Prof Abegunde explained that the court, presided over by Justice Niyi Familoni, after hearing their application, the court advised the parties to regularise their processes.
He expressed confidence in the judge, but he demanded fairness in the adjudication.
Matter adjourned to Friday 24th October, 2025
