Former FCMB Staff, Moyo Thomas the woman alleged to have been involved in a paternity scandal with a former Managing Director of First City Monument Bank, FCMB Adam Nuru, has spoken out.
Moyo, whose alleged infidelity is said to have caused the death of her husband Tunde, has said she never told the deceased that her children belonged to Nuru Adam the now suspended MD of the bank, Jomog News Nigeria reports.
The woman who is currently based in the United States is alleged to have had extra marital affairs with the the former MD who is alleged to have fathered the 2 children of the woman.
The erstwhile husband of the woman, Tunde Thomas was alleged to have died as a result of the trauma he experienced after he was informed the children were not his.
But in a statement she personally signed and made available to Saturday Sun, she said:
“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.
“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.”
