Olakunle Churchill reveals where he met Tonto Dikeh in Lagos

By Farouk Mohammed

Olakunle Churchill, Tonto Dikeh’s estrange husband, has revealed how he met her before they got married.

While speaking to Azuka Ogujiuba in an interview, he said they met at a Night Club in Lagos.

He further explained how controversies between them started and how it makes him feel.

He said, “At first l was bothered but later the whole scenario became a movie script, where the executive director, is the producer, script writer and actor all in the name of bringing down and tarnishing the image of your ex, to the extent that people who were not part of our marital plans or who were not even in the know of our marital issues were hired and cajoled to concoct lies against me.”

Churchill also debunked claims that he squatted in the actress’s house during the initial stage of their relationship, adding that he was already a successful millionaire before they met.

In his words, “You mean squatting? This is ridiculous. Before I met the Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, I was already one of the most successful young millionaires in Africa. I met her at a night club, during my brother’s birthday party in 2014 and it was about the same time I acquired the latest Benz cars.

“Three months after we met, she got pregnant. I have never really stayed in Nigeria for too long, because I do business in Ghana, although I have an office at Ikoyi. She visited me in Ghana several times and when she broke the news of her pregnancy three months into the relationship, I decided to visit her in Nigeria. I had to visit her often, because she was carrying my child.

“I have never squatted or lived with her and the only time we stayed together was after the birth of my son, which came with the approval of her parents, after I had completely satisfied the traditional requirements for her dowry. I flew her to the United States to deliver my child in one of the best hospitals in America.”
