Nollywood Actor, Saheed Balogun ‘Drags Ex-Wife Fathia To Court Over Name Usage’

The rancour between celebrated Nollywood actor, Saheed Balogun and his wife, Fathia continues to fester as reports indicate that Balogun has decided to take his ex-wife to court over her insistence on using his name.

Balogun had over the years made it public that he is uncomfortable with Fathia using his name saying, "If somebody wants to keep my name, what of the new person coming in? This has nothing to do with grudges."

According to him: "She is my ex. As for my name that she is still
answering, the deed will be done soon. The Nigerian law says that
after three or four years, you can do something about it. If somebody
wants to keep my name, what of the new person coming in? This has
nothing to do with grudges."

A reliable source informed Saturday Beats that the actor had taken his
ex to court insisting that she drop his name.

Recall also that Fathia had also reportedly boasted in an interview
last year, that nobody could stop her from using her name.

Fathia had said, "I laugh, my name is Fathia Balogun and it's going to
remain Balogun; nobody can ever change that and nobody can stop me
from answering that name."

When Saturday Beats contacted Saheed over the recent development, the
actor chose to be evasive.

"I have told you that I don't like talking about my private life. I
will talk about my new project. Go and meet those people telling you
about this story," he said.

Several calls were also made to Fathia Balogun, she didn't respond. A
text message was sent to her, she didn't respond.
