Kanu sued his wife for neglecting her marital duties since she gave birth to their son. The couples got married November 2015 and did their wedding in June 2016 in a well celebrated church wedding

The marriage is blessed with two kids, a 10years adopted daughter, who is his wife daughter and their son who is 3years.

During the hearing, Kanu revealed that his alienated wife forsook their matrimonial home and denied him access to their two children.

S.I. Amedu the respondent counsel said his wife packed out of his matrimonial home and sent him a mail that she was going to her father’s house in Enugu.

"She told me she was at her father’s place in Enugu and four days later, I saw her at the airport in Lagos, heading to God knows where. In the mail she sent, she said she was In Enugu.” His words

The Actor Kanu denied sending his wife and kids out of his house, he also said he never failed to provide for their needs, he further said his wife has denied him of sex and poured him water while he was asleep 

“After the birth of our son, she has refused to have sex with me. I was not aware she lost the pregnancy due to an infection as I did not give her any infection.

“Till date, I have not seen any report attached to a document that she lost a baby through STD. Though I did not ask her why she lost the baby,” he added.

Kanu also revealed that he stopped sending money to the children for upkeep and maintenance because his wife denied him being the father to his stepdaughter.

He also said that this was after she accused him of attempting to sleep with the child, and she failed to acknowledge the money he sent to her.

Presently, Kanu Ikeagwu is seeking for full custody of his three-year-old son and ten-year-old stepdaughter.

Kanu also revealed that his estranged wife is planning on relocating the kids to where he knows nothing about, which is the more reason of him fighting for the kids custody 

Justice Christopher Balogun had earlier ordered the children to play with their father in court and also ordered that Kanu should bring the receipts of the children’s tuition fees in court.

The judge also made it clear that Kanu cannot have custody of the girl child for the reason of a girl child being delicate and needs her mother by her side especially when she is alive 

“The Supreme Court ruled that it is not the wealth of a father that the children of that age need, they need the care and attention of their biological mother.

The only reason the girl child should not be in the custody of the mother is if the mother is mentally derailed or the issue of infidelity is involved.

“Assuming the girl starts her monthly period, you as a father do not know what to do. You will be scared of the blood. A female girl is delicate. Your own case is worse because an accusation has been levelled against you,” the judge added

Presently, the case has been adjourned till June 23 for a continuation of the hearing.
