Football star John Fashanu has been branded a “ranting woman” by the wife he accused of trying to kill him.
Weeks before a divorce court showdown, the warring couple are exchanging a barrage of insults.
Former England and Wimbledon striker Fashanu, 52, told the Sunday People last week that Abigail Onyekwelu attacked him with a knife, stole thousands of pounds and slept with another woman during their four-year marriage.
But glamorous socialite Abigail, a 48-year-old trained lawyer, hit back: “He’s dubious, fraudulent and ranting like a woman. He brought shame to me every day.”
We revealed exclusively that Fashanu – known in football as “Fash the Bash” for his hardman style – had lodged a divorce petition at Nigeria’s high court in Abuja.
Our story about the bitter break-up and sensational allegations has rocked Nigeria, where the couple are famous and he presents a local version of TV’s Deal Or No Deal.
Former Gladiators host Fashanu claims that he made a police report about Abigail, who is the mother-in-law of former Nigerian football captain and Everton defender Joseph Yobo.
He said: “My life was at risk. It was terrifying.”
Abigail, whose daughter Adaeze Yobo is a former beauty queen, made furious counter-claims, alleging she found Fash in bed with two women, one of them their maid.
London-born Fashanu played in Wimbledon’s 1988 FA Cup winning “Crazy Gang” side, appeared on I’m A Celebrity, and became a major figure in African football.
His brother Justin, Britain’s first openly gay pro footballer, killed himself in 1988.
They once loved each other ooo......Hmmm, when love goes sour, shit go down!
