The last may not have been
heard in the ongoing war between Nollywood popular actress, Laide Bakare and
her estranged husband, Olumide Okunfulire. This is because US-based businessman
has vowed to slug it out with the delectable actress over the paternity of the
child she claimed to have bore for her new hubby, Tunde Oriowo.
The Ondo State-born dude has
reportedly told his lawyers to institute a lawsuit against Laide. Olumighty, as
Okunfulire is fondly called by friends, allegedly said that Laide will have to
answer if truly she got court judgement, which dissolved their marriage before
she got married to Oriowo, her new husband.
Olumide maintained that
Laide’s new baby boy belongs to him, adding that she became pregnant in his
house. He also claimed that the actress registered at the US hospital, where
she eventually gave birth, with his name and Green Card.
With the way things are
going, Laide might be charged for bigamy and if found guilty by the court, she
risks jail term.
Industry sources told First
Weekly that Okunfulire may drop charges against Laide if the actress
realises her mistakes and beg for forgiveness.
“I can tell you that Olumide
(Okunfulire) is only trying to shake Laide. He just wants to make life
unbearable for her, Laide is aware of this, which is why she has not responded
to the ‘noise’ Olumide has been making since the news of her child birth hit
town,” a source informed us.
Meanwhile, those in the camp
of Laide have disclosed that Tunde is the real father of the baby. They claimed
that Laide and Tunde had been an item for sometime before they decided to
solemnise the relationship with a secret wedding and that she was actually
pregnant for him before then. Pictures were sent to us to back up the claim.
The actress is still in the USA with her baby and new husband as at press
time.
