After a short legal battle in Canada, Nollywood actress, Lola Alao, has won the custody case over the two kids of her late friend and colleague, Aisha Abimbola aka Omoge campus, who died, last year, after a long battle with cancer.
A video shared, on Thursday, shows Lola and Aisha’s kids in a joyous mood, shortly after the court verdict. The actress also took the opportunity to shade the ex-husband, Victor Ibrahim , who allegedly abdicated his responsibilities when her friend was alive.
Months after Aisha’s death, the Canadian authority had written Ibrahim, who is in Nigeria, requesting him to agree if the children’s custody should be given to Lola Alao who has been acting as their guardian.
However, he refused to give consent and it led to a legal battle. According to an actress close to the deceased and Lola, Aisha never wanted her ex-husband to have custody of the kids.
Blogger Kemi Ashefon quoted the source as saying, “Where was the husband when she was dying? Aisha had gone to Canada to secure a future for her kids when she realised she would not overcome the cancer.
She was lucky to have a friend in Lola. Aisha personally handed her kids over to Lola before her demise and told her not to allow her kids be in the custody of her estranged husband or his family.
She was the one, before her death, who declared that Lola Alao should be the mother of her kids. Now, that he has realised they are citizens of Canada, he wants to come over and benefit from that status.
He ill-treated Aisha when she was alive and never bothered about his kids. Now, he wants to come and claim custody of what he never took care of. His family abroad are also fighting for this custody but the law has determined Lola Alao as their custodian.”
