John Fashanu Says wife Abigail Tried
to KILL him after 'walking in on
raunchy sex threesome'
The former Gladiators host is now at the centre of a
bitter divorce battle with Abigail – and also insists
SHE cheated on him with a woman
Soccer legend John Fashanu has accused his wife of
trying to kill him – after she allegedly found him
bedding two women at the same time.
The retired former Wimbledon and England striker said
estranged Abigail Onyekwelu went for him with a knife
during a furious row at their home.
Fashanu, also a former Gladiators host, is now at the
centre of a bitter divorce battle with Abigail – and
insists SHE cheated on him with a woman.
She denies his claims and the astonishing battle –
which includes the accusation that he bedded their
maid – is to be played out in the high court in Abuja,
Nigeria.
Furious Abigail, 48, said last night: “Good riddance to
bad rubbish! I’ve left him and washed my hands.”
But Fashanu, 52 – dubbed Fash the Bash for his
hardman reputation in Wimbledon’s famous “Crazy
Gang” – hit back with an extraordinary series of
allegations.
He said he had to call in police to protect him from
knife-wielding Abigail and was devastated to find her
in bed with another woman.
He also alleged that she stole thousands of pounds in
cash from their marital home.
Speaking exclusively to the Sunday People the star –
who now presents the Nigerian version of TV’s Deal or
No Deal – said: “She attempted to use knives on me.
It was terrifying.
“My life was at stake, there’s no two ways about that.
“Even if you did think I was sleeping with the maid, or
even if you thought I was sleeping with Miss Nigeria,
don’t kill me! Just leave me and go. The violence was
just too much.”
6ft 2in Fashanu added: “My life was at risk and I didn’t
want it to happen again. That’s why I filed for
divorce.”
He denied his wife’s claim to have discovered him in
bed with two other women – one of them their maid.
“I’ve been very fortunate to date some of the most
beautiful women in the world,” Fash insisted. “I
certainly don’t have to sleep with my cleaner!
“This is me, John Fashanu, you’re talking to. It’s
absolute nonsense. If she wants to make up that story,
at least let her say it’s Beyoncé or someone.
“Don’t say it’s my cleaner, that’s just b******s. It’s not
true at all.
“The truth is she’s been cheating on me with a woman
she calls her spiritual partner.
“I caught them in the bed many times. That was why I
kicked her out of my house.”
Abigail is the mother of former beauty queen Adaeze
Yobo. Fashanu met her in 2009. They married two
years later but the relationship hit the skids last year.
Father-of-five Fashanu claimed police are now
investigating an attack on him. He also alleged that
officers are trying to retrieve missing cash from
Abigail.
He said: “I’m the one who is filing for divorce. I
couldn’t stand her and, to be honest, she probably
couldn’t stand me. With Abigail it was just money,
money, money.
“I’ve never seen a woman who has such an appetite
for money. Nearly one million Nigerian naira (around
£3,300) was stolen from my house in Abuja. There are
police reports you can see.
“There were so many assaults, it was just getting too
much. It was absolutely ridiculous. She attacked me
on multiple occasions. The whole situation was far too
hot for me. There are some wonderful, wonderful
women. It’s just that I met the wrong one.”
Glamorous socialite Abigail, a qualified lawyer and
mother-in-law to former Nigerian football captain
Joseph Yobo, paints a totally different picture of the
marriage breakdown.
The mother of four said: “John’s saying I tried to kill
him? Oh my God, this is so funny. I don’t quite
understand all this.
“How can I kill him? How can somebody like me kill
this huge man who is an expert in karate. I don’t
understand how I can kill him.”
Told that he had accused her of going to his house
armed with knives before trying to attack him, Abigail
retorted: “Oh my God, that is ridiculous.”
She also rejected Fashanu’s claim that he threw her
out of his house
after finding her in bed with another woman.
Abigail said: “He didn’t kick me out of his house. We
were living in my house. He couldn’t have kicked me
out of my own house – I kicked him out.”
Of the woman concerned, she insisted: “She is a good
friend to me. She has a husband and children. It is
ridiculous. She was living with me for a while to get
back on her feet.”
Abigail went on: “I caught him in bed with two women,
the housemaid and one other woman. There were two
women, it was awful.
“They were on the bed. They were undressed. I said to
them, ‘Who are you and what’s going on here?’
“He told me that he doesn’t know what he’s doing and
I should pray for him. He knows how to manipulate
people, that’s one thing he is good at.
“I last saw him in April last year. I didn’t know he’d
filed for divorce. He has been calling people asking
them to plead with me to get back with him.
“I would have filed for divorce myself but I haven’t
because I’ve been very busy. And he asked me not to
because he did not want to make it known that we
had separated.
“So I went on my way and I left him but I didn’t tell
anybody anything.
“I’ve told him, ‘I don’t want you any more, I have
forgiven you, I’m a Christian. But I don’t want you any
more, just leave me alone.’
I don’t take him seriously. I don’t have time for him. If
I should be angry at anyone, I should be angry at
myself for descending so low as to enter into marriage
with such a person.”
Responding to claims she stole money from Fashanu,
Abigail added: “Anybody can say anything – but how
can I go to his house and steal from him in his house?
“I wasn’t living there with him. He’s sick and he needs
help.”
Fashanu was born in London to a Guyanan nurse,
Pearl, and Nigerian barrister, Patrick. After they split
up he had a spell in a Barnado’s home and was
fostered in Norfolk.
His football career included spells with Norwich City,
Lincoln City, Crystal Palace, Millwall and Aston Villa.
He joined Wimbledon in 1986 and famously won the FA
Cup in 1988 in a team including Vinnie Jones and
Lawrie Sanchez.
Fashanu scored more than 100 goals during his 17-
year career, which also included two appearances for
England.
After retiring from football he hosted the hit 1990s TV
show Gladiators for seven years alongside Ulrika
Jonsson.
In 2003 he starred as a contestant in the ITV reality
show I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
His first marriage, to Ivory Coast model Melissa Kassa-
Mapsi, ended in divorce in 2004. Now Fashanu is a
famous and respected figure in Africa.
He has carried out extensive charity work and is
understood to have been a friend of Nelson Mandela.
He is a UN Ambassador for Nigeria, a former Unicef
goodwill ambassador for 53 African countries and a
former board member of the Nigeria Football
Association.
He also worked to develop professional football across
Africa and was Nigeria’s Ambassador for Sport and
Tourism. Fashanu now presents the Deal or No Deal
Nigeria game show on The Africa Channel and is a
successful businessman with interests in London and
Abuja.
But the star suffered heartbreak when his brother
Justin, who was Britain’s first openly gay professional
footballer, hanged himself in London in 1988.
After his brother’s suicide, Fashanu expressed remorse
for disowning him because of his homosexuality.
But he later claimed he did not believe Justin was
genuinely gay.
Wife Abigail claims he has fathered six children by
three different women.
Meanwhile he added: “I filed the divorce petition in
September and it’s listed for mention on the 19th of
next month at the court in Abuja. We’re trying to move
it through.”- culled

to KILL him after 'walking in on
raunchy sex threesome'
The former Gladiators host is now at the centre of a
bitter divorce battle with Abigail – and also insists
SHE cheated on him with a woman
Soccer legend John Fashanu has accused his wife of
trying to kill him – after she allegedly found him
bedding two women at the same time.
The retired former Wimbledon and England striker said
estranged Abigail Onyekwelu went for him with a knife
during a furious row at their home.
Fashanu, also a former Gladiators host, is now at the
centre of a bitter divorce battle with Abigail – and
insists SHE cheated on him with a woman.
She denies his claims and the astonishing battle –
which includes the accusation that he bedded their
maid – is to be played out in the high court in Abuja,
Nigeria.
Furious Abigail, 48, said last night: “Good riddance to
bad rubbish! I’ve left him and washed my hands.”
But Fashanu, 52 – dubbed Fash the Bash for his
hardman reputation in Wimbledon’s famous “Crazy
Gang” – hit back with an extraordinary series of
allegations.
He said he had to call in police to protect him from
knife-wielding Abigail and was devastated to find her
in bed with another woman.
He also alleged that she stole thousands of pounds in
cash from their marital home.
Speaking exclusively to the Sunday People the star –
who now presents the Nigerian version of TV’s Deal or
No Deal – said: “She attempted to use knives on me.
It was terrifying.
“My life was at stake, there’s no two ways about that.
“Even if you did think I was sleeping with the maid, or
even if you thought I was sleeping with Miss Nigeria,
don’t kill me! Just leave me and go. The violence was
just too much.”
6ft 2in Fashanu added: “My life was at risk and I didn’t
want it to happen again. That’s why I filed for
divorce.”
He denied his wife’s claim to have discovered him in
bed with two other women – one of them their maid.
“I’ve been very fortunate to date some of the most
beautiful women in the world,” Fash insisted. “I
certainly don’t have to sleep with my cleaner!
“This is me, John Fashanu, you’re talking to. It’s
absolute nonsense. If she wants to make up that story,
at least let her say it’s Beyoncé or someone.
“Don’t say it’s my cleaner, that’s just b******s. It’s not
true at all.
“The truth is she’s been cheating on me with a woman
she calls her spiritual partner.
“I caught them in the bed many times. That was why I
kicked her out of my house.”
Abigail is the mother of former beauty queen Adaeze
Yobo. Fashanu met her in 2009. They married two
years later but the relationship hit the skids last year.
Father-of-five Fashanu claimed police are now
investigating an attack on him. He also alleged that
officers are trying to retrieve missing cash from
Abigail.
He said: “I’m the one who is filing for divorce. I
couldn’t stand her and, to be honest, she probably
couldn’t stand me. With Abigail it was just money,
money, money.
“I’ve never seen a woman who has such an appetite
for money. Nearly one million Nigerian naira (around
£3,300) was stolen from my house in Abuja. There are
police reports you can see.
“There were so many assaults, it was just getting too
much. It was absolutely ridiculous. She attacked me
on multiple occasions. The whole situation was far too
hot for me. There are some wonderful, wonderful
women. It’s just that I met the wrong one.”
Glamorous socialite Abigail, a qualified lawyer and
mother-in-law to former Nigerian football captain
Joseph Yobo, paints a totally different picture of the
marriage breakdown.
The mother of four said: “John’s saying I tried to kill
him? Oh my God, this is so funny. I don’t quite
understand all this.
“How can I kill him? How can somebody like me kill
this huge man who is an expert in karate. I don’t
understand how I can kill him.”
Told that he had accused her of going to his house
armed with knives before trying to attack him, Abigail
retorted: “Oh my God, that is ridiculous.”
She also rejected Fashanu’s claim that he threw her
out of his house
after finding her in bed with another woman.
Abigail said: “He didn’t kick me out of his house. We
were living in my house. He couldn’t have kicked me
out of my own house – I kicked him out.”
Of the woman concerned, she insisted: “She is a good
friend to me. She has a husband and children. It is
ridiculous. She was living with me for a while to get
back on her feet.”
Abigail went on: “I caught him in bed with two women,
the housemaid and one other woman. There were two
women, it was awful.
“They were on the bed. They were undressed. I said to
them, ‘Who are you and what’s going on here?’
“He told me that he doesn’t know what he’s doing and
I should pray for him. He knows how to manipulate
people, that’s one thing he is good at.
“I last saw him in April last year. I didn’t know he’d
filed for divorce. He has been calling people asking
them to plead with me to get back with him.
“I would have filed for divorce myself but I haven’t
because I’ve been very busy. And he asked me not to
because he did not want to make it known that we
had separated.
“So I went on my way and I left him but I didn’t tell
anybody anything.
“I’ve told him, ‘I don’t want you any more, I have
forgiven you, I’m a Christian. But I don’t want you any
more, just leave me alone.’
I don’t take him seriously. I don’t have time for him. If
I should be angry at anyone, I should be angry at
myself for descending so low as to enter into marriage
with such a person.”
Responding to claims she stole money from Fashanu,
Abigail added: “Anybody can say anything – but how

marriage breakdown.
The mother of four said: “John’s saying I tried to kill
him? Oh my God, this is so funny. I don’t quite
understand all this.
“How can I kill him? How can somebody like me kill
this huge man who is an expert in karate. I don’t
understand how I can kill him.”
Told that he had accused her of going to his house
armed with knives before trying to attack him, Abigail
retorted: “Oh my God, that is ridiculous.”
She also rejected Fashanu’s claim that he threw her
out of his house
after finding her in bed with another woman.
Abigail said: “He didn’t kick me out of his house. We
were living in my house. He couldn’t have kicked me
out of my own house – I kicked him out.”
Of the woman concerned, she insisted: “She is a good
friend to me. She has a husband and children. It is
ridiculous. She was living with me for a while to get
back on her feet.”
Abigail went on: “I caught him in bed with two women,
the housemaid and one other woman. There were two
women, it was awful.
“They were on the bed. They were undressed. I said to
them, ‘Who are you and what’s going on here?’
“He told me that he doesn’t know what he’s doing and
I should pray for him. He knows how to manipulate
people, that’s one thing he is good at.
“I last saw him in April last year. I didn’t know he’d
filed for divorce. He has been calling people asking
them to plead with me to get back with him.
“I would have filed for divorce myself but I haven’t
because I’ve been very busy. And he asked me not to
because he did not want to make it known that we
had separated.
“So I went on my way and I left him but I didn’t tell
anybody anything.
“I’ve told him, ‘I don’t want you any more, I have
forgiven you, I’m a Christian. But I don’t want you any
more, just leave me alone.’
I don’t take him seriously. I don’t have time for him. If
I should be angry at anyone, I should be angry at
myself for descending so low as to enter into marriage
with such a person.”
Responding to claims she stole money from Fashanu,
Abigail added: “Anybody can say anything – but how
can I go to his house and steal from him in his house?
“I wasn’t living there with him. He’s sick and he needs
help.”
Fashanu was born in London to a Guyanan nurse,

to KILL him after 'walking in on
raunchy sex threesome'
The former Gladiators host is now at the centre of a
bitter divorce battle with Abigail – and also insists
SHE cheated on him with a woman
Soccer legend John Fashanu has accused his wife of
trying to kill him – after she allegedly found him
bedding two women at the same time.
The retired former Wimbledon and England striker said
estranged Abigail Onyekwelu went for him with a knife
during a furious row at their home.
Fashanu, also a former Gladiators host, is now at the
centre of a bitter divorce battle with Abigail – and
insists SHE cheated on him with a woman.
She denies his claims and the astonishing battle –
which includes the accusation that he bedded their
maid – is to be played out in the high court in Abuja,
Nigeria.
Furious Abigail, 48, said last night: “Good riddance to
bad rubbish! I’ve left him and washed my hands.”
But Fashanu, 52 – dubbed Fash the Bash for his
hardman reputation in Wimbledon’s famous “Crazy
Gang” – hit back with an extraordinary series of
allegations.
He said he had to call in police to protect him from
knife-wielding Abigail and was devastated to find her
in bed with another woman.
He also alleged that she stole thousands of pounds in
cash from their marital home.
Speaking exclusively to the Sunday People the star –
who now presents the Nigerian version of TV’s Deal or
No Deal – said: “She attempted to use knives on me.
It was terrifying.
“My life was at stake, there’s no two ways about that.
“Even if you did think I was sleeping with the maid, or
even if you thought I was sleeping with Miss Nigeria,
don’t kill me! Just leave me and go. The violence was
just too much.”
6ft 2in Fashanu added: “My life was at risk and I didn’t
want it to happen again. That’s why I filed for
divorce.”
He denied his wife’s claim to have discovered him in
bed with two other women – one of them their maid.
“I’ve been very fortunate to date some of the most
beautiful women in the world,” Fash insisted. “I
certainly don’t have to sleep with my cleaner!
“This is me, John Fashanu, you’re talking to. It’s
absolute nonsense. If she wants to make up that story,
at least let her say it’s Beyoncé or someone.
“Don’t say it’s my cleaner, that’s just b******s. It’s not
true at all.
“The truth is she’s been cheating on me with a woman
she calls her spiritual partner.
“I caught them in the bed many times. That was why I
kicked her out of my house.”
Abigail is the mother of former beauty queen Adaeze
Yobo. Fashanu met her in 2009. They married two
years later but the relationship hit the skids last year.
Father-of-five Fashanu claimed police are now
investigating an attack on him. He also alleged that
officers are trying to retrieve missing cash from
Abigail.
He said: “I’m the one who is filing for divorce. I
couldn’t stand her and, to be honest, she probably
couldn’t stand me. With Abigail it was just money,
money, money.
“I’ve never seen a woman who has such an appetite
for money. Nearly one million Nigerian naira (around
£3,300) was stolen from my house in Abuja. There are
police reports you can see.
“There were so many assaults, it was just getting too
much. It was absolutely ridiculous. She attacked me
on multiple occasions. The whole situation was far too
hot for me. There are some wonderful, wonderful
women. It’s just that I met the wrong one.”
Glamorous socialite Abigail, a qualified lawyer and
mother-in-law to former Nigerian football captain

marriage breakdown.

Couple Stab 10-year- old In The Vagina
Couple Stab Neighbour's 10-Year-Old
Girl In The Vagina
A young girl of 10, Chidinma, has been admitted to the
hospital after a couple – Eucharia Chukwuma and
Jerry Oko-Oboh – beat her up and stabbed her in the
private parts with a broken bottle.
The incident happened at shared residence of the
couple and the victim’s family, on Joshua Street,
Agbabiaka, in the Ajangbadi area of Lagos.
It was learnt that the couple assaulted 10-year-old
Chidinma for allegedly touching the vagina of their
three-year-old daughter, Peace who cried and reported
to her parents that Chidinma fiddled with her private
parts.
Chidinma however denied the allegation and said she
had only played with Peace at about 7pm on April 6
but didn't touch her privates.
Angered by the report, Peace's 30-year-old mother,
Eucharia, rushed to Chidinma’s mother, Ofia,
demanding that Chidinma follow her to her room.
A few minutes later, Ofia reportedly heard her daughter
screaming and rushed to Chukwuma’s apartment to
see what was wrong.
On getting there, the door was said to have been
locked by the couple who reportedly beat up the victim
repeatedly with punches. Not satisfied, the wife
allegedly stabbed Chidinma in the private parts and
smeared them with pepper.
The couple fled the neighbourhood when blood started
gushing from Chidinma’s vagina.

trailed and arrested the couple after the case was
reported.
The police said Chukwuma, in a statement she
voluntarily made at the station, confessed to stabbing
the girl in the privates and rubbing pepper, because
she became furious when the girl declined comments
about Peace’s allegation.
She and her husband have however been arraigned
before an Apapa Magistrate’s Court on three counts
bordering on assault.
Girl In The Vagina
A young girl of 10, Chidinma, has been admitted to the
hospital after a couple – Eucharia Chukwuma and
Jerry Oko-Oboh – beat her up and stabbed her in the
private parts with a broken bottle.
The incident happened at shared residence of the
couple and the victim’s family, on Joshua Street,
Agbabiaka, in the Ajangbadi area of Lagos.
It was learnt that the couple assaulted 10-year-old
Chidinma for allegedly touching the vagina of their
three-year-old daughter, Peace who cried and reported
to her parents that Chidinma fiddled with her private
parts.
Chidinma however denied the allegation and said she
had only played with Peace at about 7pm on April 6
but didn't touch her privates.
Angered by the report, Peace's 30-year-old mother,
Eucharia, rushed to Chidinma’s mother, Ofia,
demanding that Chidinma follow her to her room.
A few minutes later, Ofia reportedly heard her daughter
screaming and rushed to Chukwuma’s apartment to
see what was wrong.
On getting there, the door was said to have been
locked by the couple who reportedly beat up the victim
repeatedly with punches. Not satisfied, the wife
allegedly stabbed Chidinma in the private parts and
smeared them with pepper.
The couple fled the neighbourhood when blood started
gushing from Chidinma’s vagina.
Policemen from Okokomaiko Police Division later
trailed and arrested the couple after the case was
reported.

Demonizing Islam with their stupidity
12 Nigerian & Ghanian Christian
migrants killed following religious
clash on a Boat in Italy
12 Nigerian and Ghanian migrants who were traveling
on a boat with Muslim migrants from Libya to Italy
were this week killed after the Muslims on the boat
threw them into the sea following a religious clash on
the boat. According to report, the motive for the
attack was because the victims 'professed the
Christian faith while the aggressors were Muslim'.
The illegal immigrants, 105 of them in number, left
Libya on Tuesday in a rubber boat. When they sailed
north across the Mediterranean Sea, a fight broke out
and the Muslim occupants in the boat, mainly from
Ivory Coast, Mali and Senegal engaged in a fight with
their fellow immigrants who were Christians and threw
12 of them overboard, Italian police said.
Other Christians who survived the attack on the boat
told police that they were spared "because they
strongly opposed the drowning attempt and formed a
human chain".
The Italian police have arrested 15 of the Muslims that
carried out the attack and they will be charged with
multiple homicide.

Polish man admits kidnapping and
murdering 9-year-old girl after she shot
a water pistol at him
Witnesses said the man seized the girl by the

Thursday 16 April 2015
A Polish convicted criminal yesterday
admitted kidnapping and murdering a 9
years old girl who squirted him with a water
pistol as he drank beer in Calais while
waiting for a ferry to Britain.
The man, named as Zbigniew H., 38, seized
the little girl by the neck and dragged her
into his car shouting “I will kill you”,
witnesses said.
Her partially clothed body was found in
woodland two hours later. The local state
prosecutor, Jean-Pierre Valensi, said
yesterday that the man had admitted
murdering and sexually assaulting the girl.

leaders' debate
The death of Chloe, abducted on Wednesday
as she played in the street outside her own
home, has caused a wave of shock and anger
in France. The mayoress of Calais, Natacha
Bouchart, led a silent march of protest
through the streets of the Channel port
tonight.
In a tweet urging local people to join the
march, she said that Calais was “in mourning
for Chloe” and ordered flags to be flown at
half mast.
Chloe’s suspected killer was released from a
French prison in March last year after
serving four years of a six year sentence for
extortion and violence. He was deported to
Poland and banned from returning to French
territory.
The prosecutor said that he was driving from
Poland to Britain to visit his sister on
Wednesday afternoon when he pulled into a
side street in Calais to drink beer.

Eye-witnesses said that they saw the little girl
and a friend squirt him with a water pistol
through the open car window. A neighbour
told the local paper, La Voix du Nord, that he
had seen the man seize Chloe by the neck,
“almost strangling her”.
“She struggled and tried to get way. He held
her against a wall and shouted ‘I will kill
you’,” the eyewitness said. He then bundled
her into his car and drove away as her
mother looked on.
When arrested on Wednesday night close to
the woodland on the edge of Calais where the
child’s body was found, Zbigniew W was
breathalysed and had more than twice the
permitted limit of alcohol for drivers in his
blood, the prosecutor said.
He told a press conference yesterday that that
the man had confessed to sexually assaulting
and strangling the girl. The suspect faces
charges of abducting a minor, rape and
murder.
The Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, promised
an investigation on why the suspected killer
was released early from a French prison and
how he came to return to France. The
interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, said
that he had already asked the Polish
authorities for an explanation.
Poland, Germany and France are members of
the European Union’s “Schengen” open
borders agreement. Anyone driving from
Poland to Calais, could do so without showing
a passport.
