FASHANU'S MARRIAGE ON THE ROCKS !!!

Fashanu & Wife Fight Dirty…. Accuses Her Of Theft, Says She Plans To Kill Him.

The marriage that took place between Soccer legend, John Fashanu and his wife, Abigail Onyekwelu, the mother of Nigeria’s former beauty queen, Adaeze Yobo in 2011 has come to an end. Though little was heard about the sudden end of the marriage, it became more opened about 14 hours ago when Mirror.co.uk published their messy divorce tale. Fashanu said it has always been trouble with Abigail and he has never seen a woman who has so much appetite for money like her. She tried to kill me with a knife, when she caught me in threesome with two women, he explained. She is also a lesbian and a thief, he said again.

Abigail however denied all of these and gave her side of the story. Fahsanu is 52, while Abigail is 48 and if I am correct, they are both grandparents, except none of Fashanu’s children  (5 of them) have no child yet.

Soccer legend John Fashanu has accused his wife of trying to kill him – after she allegedly found him bedding two women at the same time.

The retired former Wimbledon and England striker said estranged Abigail Onyekwelu went for him with a knife during a furious row at their home.

Fashanu, also a former Gladiators host, is now at the centre of a bitter divorce battle with Abigail – and insists SHE cheated on him with a woman.

She denies his claims and the ­astonishing battle – which includes the ­accusation that he bedded their maid – is to be played out in the high court in Abuja, Nigeria.

Furious Abigail, 48, said last night: “Good riddance to bad rubbish! I’ve left him and washed my hands.”

But Fashanu, 52 – dubbed Fash the Bash for his hardman reputation in Wimbledon’s famous “Crazy Gang” – hit back with an extraordinary series of allegations.

He said he had to call in police to protect him from knife-wielding Abigail and was devastated to find her in bed with another woman.

He also alleged that she stole thousands of pounds in cash from their marital home.

Speaking exclusively to the Sunday People the star – who now presents the Nigerian version of TV’s Deal or No Deal – said: “She attempted to use knives on me. It was terrifying.

“My life was at stake, there’s no two ways about that.

“Even if you did think I was sleeping with the maid, or even if you thought I was sleeping with Miss Nigeria, don’t kill me! Just leave me and go. The ­violence was just too much.”

6ft 2in Fashanu added: “My life was at risk and I didn’t want it to happen again. That’s why I filed for divorce.”

He denied his wife’s claim to have discovered him in bed with two other women – one of them their maid.

“I’ve been very fortunate to date some of the most beautiful women in the world,” Fash insisted. “I certainly don’t have to sleep with my cleaner!

“This is me, John Fashanu, you’re talking to. It’s absolute nonsense. If she wants to make up that ­story, at least let her say it’s Beyoncé or someone.

“Don’t say it’s my cleaner, that’s just b******s. It’s not true at all.

“The truth is she’s been cheating on me with a woman she calls her spiritual partner.

“I caught them in the bed many times. That was why I kicked her out of my house.”

Abigail is the mother of former beauty queen Adaeze Yobo. Fashanu met her in 2009. They married two years later but the relationship hit the skids last year.

Father-of-five Fashanu claimed police are now investigating an attack on him. He also ­alleged that officers are trying to retrieve missing cash from Abigail.

He said: “I’m the one who is filing for divorce. I couldn’t stand her and, to be honest, she probably couldn’t stand me. With Abigail it was just money, money, money.

“I’ve never seen a woman who has such an appetite for money. Nearly one million Nigerian naira (around £3,300) was stolen from my house in Abuja. There are police reports you can see.

“There were so many assaults, it was just getting too much. It was absolutely ridiculous. She attacked me on multiple occasions. The whole situation was far too hot for me. There are some wonderful, wonderful women. It’s just that I met the wrong one.”
