Adaeze Igwes mum also had accusations of her own, after denying the former England strikers claim. She accused him of sleeping with their maid.Speaking to the Uk mirror she claimed to be the one filing for divorce. “I caught him in bed with two women, the housemaid and another woman. He told me he doesn’t know what he’s doing and I should pray for him. He knows how to manipulate people; that’s one thing he’s good at. I wasn’t living there with him.He’s sick and he needs help.”
In another series of allegations,Fashanu who spoke to the Daily Mirror U.K claims he would never sleep with their maid,
“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. My life was at risk and I didn’t want it to happen again. That’s why I filed for divorce”
On his wife claims to discovering him in bed with two women, one being their maid, “I’ve been very fortunate to date some of the most beautiful women in the world. I certainly wouldn’t sleep with my cleaner.This is me, John Fashanu your talking to.Its absolute nonsense. If she wants to make up that story. Don’t say it’s my cleaner, that’s just b****S. It’s not true at all. He also went further to accuse his wife of lesbianism, “The truth is she’s been cheating on me with a woman who she calls her spiritual partner. I caught them in bed many times. That was why I kicked her out of my house.
