Mabel refused AY access to their child

In a new development, a Nigerian blogger identified as Stella Dimoko has alleged that the public figures are currently entangled in a custody battle over their second child. According to her, Mabel began to refuse AY access to see their second daughter.

Her post, according to an alleged insider, reads:

“Mabel has refused AY to have a phone or physical contact with their 2nd daughter, but once Mabel goes out, the Nanny will call AY to have quality time with his daughter on the phone.”

However, Mabel caught them on a random day when she came home from work.

“On one of those times, Mabel returned home and met their daughter on the phone with AY on the Nannys phone and all hell broke loose for the Nanny who was sacked immediately and sent her back to the village that same day.”

It was also stated that their issue is so toxic now that no one can speak or plead with either party, and Mable says a judge will now handle the matters.
