London Court Orders Nigerian Politician, Olawepo-Hashim to pay ex-wife €15M over Divorce

A United Kingdom Court has ordered a former Presidential aspirant of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Gbenga Joel Olawepo-Hashim to pay his divorced wife, Funmi Rebecca Olawepo-Hashim a sum of fifteen million pounds (€15).

The order of the court followed the successful resolution of a divorce suit instituted by the former wife against the APC’S ex-presidential aspirant.

Deputy District Judge Fox Sat at the Family Court at Central Family Court, First Avenue House, 42-49 High Holborn, London, WC1V 6NP gave the verdict.

The judgment was entered against Olawepo-Hashim following his refusal to appear in court or engage legal practitioner to represent him inspite of been served with papers in the divorce suit.

A copy of the court judgment obtained by our correspondent in Abuja indicated that the respondent shall pay to the ex wife periodical payments for benefit of the Children of the Family.

Payments shall be at the rate of £18,000 per annum per child, payable monthly in arrears by standing order.

The court order read in part “After hearing counsel, Mr J .Nosworthy for the applicant and the respondent failing to appear nor being represented.

“After consideration of the bundles and the preliminary documents filed by Mr Nosworthy, after hearing evidence from the Applicant and submissions.

“The “Children of the Family” shall mean Tofunmi Joel Olawepo-Hashim and Tomisin Hannora OlawepoHashim (twins) born on 10 December 2010.

“The “Companies” shall mean Transnational Energy Ltd and Bresson A.S. Nigeria Ltd registered in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“The court was satisfied that the respondent had been served with notice of this hearing and all documentation relating to these proceedings and has chosen not to attend nor to be represented.

“The court was satisfied that the respondent has failed to comply with court orders and the Family Procedure Rules and has failed to file his Form E or any of the statements as ordered by the court.

“Nothing in this order is intended to prevent or affect in any way the applicant’s right to pursue before the Courts of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, proceedings for relief relating to her involvement with the Companies (as a shareholder, director or otherwise).

“There are substantial arrears in respect of the Interim Order. The Interim Order has been registered in a Court in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Nothing in this order is intended to prevent or affect in any way the applicant’s right to enforce the terms of the Interim Order.

“The respondent shall pay the applicant by 4pm on 8 July 2022 a lump sum of £15,000,000 (£15 million Sterling).

“If the respondent fails to pay all or any part of this lump sum by 4pm on 8 July 2022 simple interest shall accrue on the remaining balance of the lump sum at the rate applicable for the time being to a High Court judgment debt (currently 8%).

“The respondent shall pay to the applicant periodical payments for benefit of the Children of the Family.

“Payments shall be at the rate of £18,000 per annum per child, payable monthly in arrears by standing order. Payments shall start on the first day of the month following the payment in full of the lump sum provided for in (8) above (together with any interest), and shall end on:
a. each child respectively attaining the age of 18 years or ceasing their full-time tertiary education (limited to 1st degree), whichever shall be the later; or b. a further order.
