Saheed Balogun Drags Ex-Wife, Fathia To Court Over Her Refusal To Drop His Name

Popular Nollywood actor, Saheed Balogun has dragged his actress  ex-wife, Fathia Balogun, to court over the use of his surname ‘Balogun’, insisting that she stop using the name. 

Years after their separation, he decided to drag his ex to court for refusal to drop his name. According to PUNCH, he had wanted her to drop his last name a long time ago but she was adamant. He allegedly said “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.”

However, when asked after their publicized split, Fathia 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.”
