Recently, when the news broke that their one-year-old marriage had crashed, both actress Uche Iwuji and her husband, Juwon Lawal, MD/CEO, ABD Fuels Plc, vehemently denied any crack in their marriage.
However, Lawal shocked a few, last week, when he issued a press statement confirming the split in their marriage.
According to him, “This should serve as the official statement confirming the end to the marriage formalized on Friday, November 16th, 2012 between the CEO of ABD Fuels Plc, Mr. Juwon Rasak Lawal and actress Uche Iwuji. Already, the court processes are on to give a legal seal to the separation.”
Lawal was in Europe on a business tour when the story first broke through the media. This was the reason he could not react appropriately to it, in addition to the fact that he was hoping the situation could be redeemed.
Although he didn’t disclose over the reason(s) for the separation, Lawal only said he is no longer married to Miss Iwuji.
He, however, said he would continue to treat his estranged wife’s case as “once a friend, always a friend.”
For some weeks now, the entertainment industry has been awash with rumours of a crack in the marriage of Nollywood actress Uche Iwuji. The actress got married barely a year ago to her Oil and Gas businessman beau, Juwon Lawal, executive officer of ABD Fuel.
The actress, since stories of her rumoured marriage crash, has kept mum and this has made a lot of her fans believe that indeed, the one-year-old marriage has hit the rocks just as many others in Nollywood.
However, to the chagrin of movie lovers and fans, her husband has not only refuted the rumour, but denied knowledge of it.
Lawal said: “I am hearing it for the first time. Anyway, I don’t even have time to be reading all those rubbish. I don’t have time for tales by moonlight.”
