Ojo withdraws divorce case

Super Eagles goalkeeper Olorunleke Ojo has taken a step toward reconciling with his estranged wife.

According to Vanguard, Ojo has withdrawn the divorce case he filed against his wife, Tosin Ojo, expressing his intention to settle the matter out of court.

The former Sunshine Stars shot-stopper, who won a silver medal at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), per Al Jazeera, appealed to the State High Court to treat the petition as though it was never filed.

Meanwhile, Tosin Ojo made an emotional plea to the court, urging that their nine-year marriage not be dissolved, emphasising that she does not want their children to grow up in a broken home.

The case, which was scheduled for hearing on Tuesday, October 21, was struck out after Ojo filed a motion for withdrawal, confirming that both parties had agreed to resolve their differences amicably outside the courtroom.
