Super Eagles goalkeeper Ojo Olorunleke has found himself at the center of controversy following allegations made by his wife, Tosin Olorunleke, accusing him of infidelity, domestic abuse, and neglect. The claims, which surfaced on social media earlier this week, have sparked heated reactions across Nigeria’s sporting community.
In a twist to the saga, Ojo’s former teammate, identified simply as Fernando Ogodo Sule on Facebook, has publicly come to his defense, describing the allegations as false and malicious. Sule, who once played alongside Ojo at Sunshine Stars, took to his Facebook page with a lengthy post, accusing Tosin of attempting to tarnish the goalkeeper’s reputation.
Wife’s Allegations
Tosin Olorunleke (Pictured Above) alleged that her husband and another woman identified as Precious Daniels have threatened her and her children. She further claimed that her safety and that of the children are in danger, while also pointing fingers at Ojo for neglecting his responsibilities as a husband and father.
Reports indicate that Tosin has filed for divorce and called for a DNA test on their children, citing repeated marital crises.
Sule’s Defense of Ojo
Countering these claims, Fernando Sule insisted that Ojo is a man of integrity who has always been reserved, family-oriented, and principled.
In his post, Sule wrote:
“A lot of men have died or committed suicide because of false allegations. Enough of running to the public to accuse a man of the sin you actually committed. Ever since I knew Ojo, all he ever endured was bullying and false accusations from his wife. He is a gentle, family-oriented man who once refused to take a bribe that could have ruined his integrity.”
Sule went further to accuse Tosin of deliberately seeking to ruin Ojo’s career after years of marital crisis. He also hinted that Ojo had already filed for divorce and requested a DNA test, which results are still pending.
