After Fathia openly called him a
liar and said they are in court, Saheed has also accepted they are in
court. He released a press statement few hours ago, where he made it
clear to the public that he has two kids together with Fathia and not
three. We all believed they have three kids together, but Saheed is
saying, the first child isn’t his but from Fathia’s previous marriage.Read the press statement below.
Read press statement released by
Saidi Balogun, a few hours ago, about the brouhaha going on between
himself and his ex-wife, Fathia Balogun - Yesterday I was accused of
lying to the press on a recent rumor that has been circulating.
I separated from my ex-wife Fathia Balogun in 2006, over 7 years ago.
Since we were LEGALLY MARRIED IN COURT, we had to LEGALLY DIVORCE IN
COURT to finalize the issue. The public is welcome to go to the Lagos
High Court to verify these records. This has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO
WITH ANY NAME! I AM NOT ASKING OR FORCING FATHIA TO STOP USING THE NAME
BALOGUN, as it is one of the most common Yoruba names.
Furthermore, to set the record
straight, Fathia and I had TWO children together NOT THREE.
Fathia's first child is from a different husband that she later divorced
before we were married.
I never lied to anyone. Journalists presented me with a rumor that had no basis in fact, so I simply stated that I DO NOT
WANT MY PRIVATE LIFE MADE PUBLIC. IT IS MY PRIVACY AND CONCERNS NOBODY.
I decided to stay quiet as the two parties involved in this issue are
over 40 years old, and I think we are old enough to handle this issue
MATURELY instead of turning our private matters into a public gossip
debate.
I hope this issue is now
clarified for the public, as I SAIDI BALOGUN am divulging the true facts
myself instead of using a MISINFORMED publicist to do so for me. There
are so many positive aspects of Nigeria's entertainment industry, we
would rather focus on negative meaningless noise instead of these positive components.
PLEASE GIVE ME THE RESPECT OF KEEPING MY PERSONAL LIFE PRIVATE AND OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE. I AM FOCUSING ON MY WORK.
THANK YOU!
