The wife of Fuji artiste Shanko Rasheed has alleged that he deserted her and their children after the tragic loss of their son.
She said this in a video making rounds on the Internet, saying the singer left her during difficult times.
She explained that she had an accident on October 11 which affected her legs and made it impossible for her to work.
According to her, she was left alone to care for their three children while having no roof over their head as they were forced out of their home by the landlord.
She alleged that the singer asked her to take a loan to settle the rent. After she got the money, she claimed he collected it and still failed to provide support for the family.
She went further to accuse the singer of not paying the children’s school fees despite several pleas, adding that their late son became sick during that period and that she struggled to pay hospital bills. According to her, she relied on loans and help from kind individuals to cover the medical expenses.
She said: “I had an accident on October 11 and it affected my legs. I could not work again, and I was left alone to take care of our three children. After my accident, our landlord gave us a quit notice. He told me to go and take a loan to pay the rent. I went to borrow the money, but when I brought it, he collected it from me and still did not take care of us.
“We were later sent out of the house and we had to stay in a church. He refused to pay the school fees despite all my efforts to beg him. When my son fell sick, I struggled on my own to raise money for his treatment. I took loans and people helped me. I am begging Nigerians to please help me. He has now taken our two children away from me.”
As of the time of filing this report, the singer has yet to publicly address the allegations.
