BEYOND BOOTS ON THE GROUND

By Dakuku Peterside Not long ago, a well-worn phrase began to echo again in Nigeria’s public conversation: “We need more boots on the ground.” It is a phrase that sounds decisive, almost comforting. It suggests movement, resolve, and visible action. In a country where too many communities live under the shadow of fear, the image…

After the much allegations against her, Moyo Thomas who was alleged to have had two children outside of her wedlock with her husband Tunde Thomas has finally broken her long silence.

According to reports, it was alleged that an adulterous relationship between her and the Managing Director of the First City Monument Bank (FCMB), Adam Nuru produced the two children.

Moyo in a statement on Friday denied ever telling her late husband that he was not the father of her children, refuting the widespread claims on social media.

However, throughout the statement Moyo kept mum on her alleged affair with with FCMB MD. The bank said Nuru has now proceeded on a leave to allow the investigation on the alleged sexual misconducts levelled against him run its course.

Moyo in her first personal reaction to the parternity saga wrote: “I write in reference to all the allegations and accusations that have recently been making the rounds on the internet and various social media platforms. I have refrained from responding to this matter for various reasons, one of which is to preserve the memories of Tunde who departed to be with his maker on December 16, 2020. Memories, not only to me, but to his children, who are still young, and to everybody who had a relationship with him,” she said.

“Just like any marriage, Tunde and I had a lot of differences in our marriage, some of which even led to police intervention. But I remain committed to keeping only positive memories of him. No one can ever understand what transpired between us or what each of us experienced in the marriage; like they say, it is he who wears the shoes that knows where it pinches. In all of it, I never for once wished him bad. His untimely and sudden death is still a shock to me as it is to many others.

“On no occasion did I ever tell him he was not the father of our two children. It is therefore deliberate falsehood and certainly malicious to allege and insinuate that I informed him that the children are not his. The children still bear his name. Only God knows why he died in an untimely period. It is not in my place, or anyone’s place to play God and talk with certainty as to the cause of his death, without proven medical facts.

“Despite our separation, we never allowed our differences affect the relationships we respectively have with the children. He still had conversations with the children like any father will, up until his sudden and unfortunate death. It is quite sad and disheartening to see the pictures of these innocent children splashed all over the internet with very disparaging and weird comments.

“I do wish his family and friends the fortitude to bear the unfortunate loss and I ask that we all be allowed to grieve his loss in peace. He has now been laid to rest and we implore all and sundry to please respect our privacy and allow those grieving his loss, including the children and I, to do so in peace.” Moyo Thomas wrote.
