Funke Akindele’s Alleged Husband Snatching Scandal Deepens
The once blissful marriage between Movie actor Femi Adebayo and his wife Khadija has crashed like a badly arranged pack of cards and movie actoress funke Akindele of the ‘Jenifa’ fame is fingered out as the intrucder.
Our source stated that when the sultory wife Khadijat could no longer bear the frustration and pains of her husband’s infidelity, she had to pack out of their matrimonial home to her fathers house.
Right now the lady is saddled with the responsibility of taking care of their three kids alone, since Femi has abandoned them for funke.
It was gathered that Khadijat had made lots of reconcilable moves with her once lovely husband, reporting the issue to her father inlaw, Adebayo Salami fondly called ‘Oga Bello’ who is a top actor in the movie industry but her efforts were futile.
Funke as we heard was boasting before now that femie is her own, and nobody can take him away from her love bondage. Even at a time she was alleged to have threatened fellow actress, fattis balogun not to get closer to femi. This we learnt raised a lot of dust between the two actresses.
In addition, some movie artistes who want to be among movies said, that the love story between Femi and Funke is no longer news to them because they often demonstrate their love affair at movie locations and most times they share the same hotel rooms. An instance was given in Korodu Lagos where they allegedly shared the same hotel room for three days at a movie location of the embattled actor Babatunde Omidina fondly called Baba Suwe.
It will be recalled that few weeks back the delectable actress with smooth acting prowess was alleged to have been the cause of separation between Yourba movie maker olasco and actress Ibironke oshodi Oke. Though she refuted the story, the gist in town now among female actresses is that the fear of funke as far as snatching husband or concubine is oncerned, is the beginning of wisdom
