A former Minister of Police Affairs, General David Jemibewon (rtd) has filed a suit in court seeking dissolution of his marriage of over 40 years with Mrs Modupe Jemibewon.
The 83-year-old Kogi-born General is said to have claimed in the divorce suit that he was not legally married to Modupe. He also said he is no longer happy with their union.
A YouTuber, Adeola Agoro made the revelation in a video on her account, @SisiAdeolaAgoroOA.
It was gathered that Jemibewon has also been separated from his wife for over two years as his children are said to have moved him away from their Abuja home where he used to live with Modupe. They have lost contact since then until she got served the divorce suit recently.
General Jemibewon was married (in 1965) to Comfort Jemibewon (née Oni), who passed away on July 22, 2015 at the age of 70. He took Modupe as a second wife (in the 70s) while still married to his first wife, who gave him 5 children, Dele, Femi, Tayo, Bimbo and Yomi.
General David and Modupe Jemibewon have one daughter together. She got married in 2019.
For the past three decades, Modupe has been synonymous with the Kogi-born General as his wife. They stepped out together at many social functions. She is equally a well known society woman. Even as recently as the Valentine’s Day in 2021 when they both granted a newspaper interview where they spoke sweetly of their love life. It however remains unknown, what had gone so bad between them.
It was also revealed that Mrs Modupe has been reaching out to people she thought could help her prevail on the General to have a change of mind. However, the octogenarian General seemed hell-bent in his resolve and he enjoys the full backing of the five children he had from his first marriage. There had been no love lost between the children and Modupe right from the beginning and she is pointing at their direction for manipulating their dad.
