The wife demands justice from the husband for lying about his genotype status, Bigamy, Forged Marriage Certificate, Impersonation and Forgery.
SaharaWeeklyNG Reports That A mother of two, Mrs Helen lluobe is demanding justice from her husband who deceived her with his genotype status before marriage which resulted in having three sickle cells disorder children of which her first child died mysteriously.
Iluobe who narrated her ordeal told our correspondent that the husband, Mr Kelly Iluobe lied about his genotype for his selfish interest.
“It all started when a family friend came with Kelly to my birthday party and he Kelly introduced me.
He came demanding my contact number which I refused, after two weeks he came back to our house and met my father and introduced himself.
“He told my father that he was at my birthday party and that he liked me so we courted for two years.
Mrs Iluobe said that when they were dating she asked the husband about his genotype status because her family genotype is AS but he told her he was AA.
“During that period of our courtship, he claimed to be a businessman who stayed abroad, so he was on and off the country we eventually we got married.
“Unfortunately, my first child died mysteriously, the second was at the same time hospitalized before I asked the hospital to conduct genotype text for the children.
“The result showed that both of them have sickle cell disorder.
She said that all this while the husband was off and on, so when the child died he sent his elder brother Moses Adams Iluobe to her parents demanding to know what happened to the child and also consulted the elders in the village before he will be buried.
” After the genotype result was out I did not see my husband again, he only sent his elder brother who came with flimsy excuses.
“Any time the children are in crisis and I call his family members there will be no good response until September 2020 when my husband remarried without asking for me and his children.
Sahara weekly gathered that Advocates for Children and Vulnerable Persons Network ACVPN received a complaint from one Mrs Iluobe on how her husband absconded for four years and instituted a petition asking the Inspector General of police for his intervention.
” However, Mr Kelly Iluobe who was invited on several occasions never reported to the station until his elder brother and his surety were arrested.
Mr Iluobe claimed he travelled to Ethiopia at the request of his elder brother for a business deal.
Although he told his wife before that he was in Brazil.
After his brother was arrested he now put a call to him and he promised to report back immediately he returned to Nigeria.
Surprisedly, Mr Illuobe returned and took a petition to the Administration Unit of FCID, Alagbon where he accused his wife of theft and using the police to harass him.
Our correspondent also learnt that the first meeting for both parties was fixed for the 17th and 18th of June 2021 at FCID admin where drama ensued.
“The IPO Tayo Alagono tried to play smart by trying to make the Mrs Iiluobe a suspect but the advocates stood their ground that such should not happen.
They said that Mr Kelly Iluobe was invited by the gender Anti-human Trafficking unit SCID Panti but he never honoured the invitation until when his elder brother and friend who stood as surety were arrested and released on bail.
She said that Mr Kelly Iluobe told various lies against her and her family before the ACP Rasheed Lawal in charge of the Admin Unit in FCID.
ACP then instructed the IPO to send the case file to the Force CID Legal Unit immediately for action.
“We were asked to go and come back for another meeting on 25th of June 2021 to decide when the case would be charged to court.
” But we were surprised at the submission of the ACP LAWAL RASHEED, he started preaching about the interest of my children to be protected leaving out the criminal aspect of the case.
“I could not believe the scenario, it looked suspicious right from the onset, was that why my husband ran down to the Force Criminal Investigative Department Admin unit? I presume this case supposed to be handled by the Gender Anti-human Trafficking unit FCID?.
Meanwhile, Advocates for Children and Vulnerable Persons Network ACVPN have expressed dissatisfaction over the role of the police officers attached to the Unit of Force Criminal Investigation Department FCID Alagbon Lagos in trying to truncate a case of fake identity.
The coordinator, Mr Ebenezer Omejalile of ACVPN, condemned the way the case is being handled.
” It shouldn’t be like this, I am using this medium to call on the authority to look into the matter for justice to prevail.
Omejalile noted that during the discussion with Mr Kelly Iluobe, he claimed that he always put a call to his wife to enquire about the children and also sent money for their welfare since he wasn’t always around, but his wife debunked his claims.
However, Immediately his wife challenged him to prove his claims, he could not utter a single word to all the allegations presented before him.
“Also he claimed that he never discussed genotype with his wife and that they only dated for 3months and she got pregnant for him that produced three children.
“Surprisingly, Mr Kelly’s elder brother admitted that both had courtship for two years before marriage both through the introduction and Native Law and Custom.
“We want this case to be handed over to the unit of Gender Anti-human Trafficking FCID so we will not be having a lopsided decision in this case.
“We also gathered that the ACP Admin is pushing for settlement which his wife and mother in law turned down.
“Mr Kelly also lied, he told his families and friends over the years that he rented and stocked up his wife and mother in law stores with materials and items.
Omejalile said that Helen Iluobe and her family want justice and their decision should be respected by the Admin Force CID.
Meanwhile, Kelly in his petition didn’t mention anything regarding the two daughters welfare but kept emphasizing that the princess stole his properties.
At least 23 people were killed in a series of suspected suicide bombings, police in Nigeria’s northeastern city of Maiduguri said on Tuesday.

More than 100 other people were injured in the blasts that took place on Monday evening in the capital of Nigeria’s restive Borno state.
No group has claimed responsibility for the suspected attacks.
The deadly blasts come after a military post was attacked overnight Sunday to Monday, which authorities blamed on suspected Islamist militants.
This sad incident is coming barely two weeks after Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church specifically warned against attacks in some states. He mentioned these states while calling on security operatives to pay close attention to them.
These were his words:
“Another attack is coming up in these following states where the military must watch carefully and intelligently; Kano, Kaduna, Zamfara, Kebbi, Niger, Borno, Kwara and Kogi state. They want to do a deadly attack, it’s preventable but it depends on how they will handle it. I have told you about the danger coming up.”
@primateayodele
Unfortunately, some of our military agencies don’t believe spiritual intelligence can save the country from so much danger hence, their neglect of this prophetic warning but now, it has been fulfilled with the miliary losing credibility by the day while Primate Ayodele continues to gain momentum.
Likewise, At least 26 passengers and crew sustained varying degrees of injuries on Monday following an accident involving the Kaduna–Abuja train, according to the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC).
Opeifa explained that the train departed Rigasa in Kaduna at 7:15 a.m. and was approaching Asham station around 9:16 a.m. when a loud bang was heard after the power car and trailing locomotive collided with one of the passenger coaches.
In July 2025, Primate Ayodele asked nigerians to pray not to see train mishap on the Kaduna-Abuja route.

“Let’s pray not to see train mishap in Abuja-Kaduna, Kaduna-Abuja route.”
This has also been fulfilled.
The project ends decades search for investors, boosts Nigeria’s blue economy
By Prince Adeyemi Shonibare
Nigeria’s maritime sector is set for a major transformation following a landmark agreement involving the world’s largest container shipping company, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), which has secured a 45-year concession to build, manage and operate a modern container terminal at Snake Island Port in Lagos.
The project, to be developed in partnership with Nigerdock, marks one of the most significant private sector investments in Nigeria’s port infrastructure in recent decades and is expected to strengthen the country’s role as a major maritime gateway in West and Central Africa.
For Nigeria, the agreement brings to close decades of efforts to attract large-scale investors to develop Snake Island Port, a strategically located maritime asset in Lagos.
Long-standing concession history
Snake Island’s maritime facilities date back several decades. In 1992, the Federal Government granted a 99-year concession for the island’s port and industrial facilities to Nigerdock, a major maritime engineering and logistics company.
Nigerdock was later privatised and is currently operated by the Jagal Group owned by Nigerian industrialist Maher Jarmakani.
Over the years, the Island Container Terminal fell into disrepair, requiring major rehabilitation and modernization to meet modern global shipping standards.
The new partnership with MSC is expected to transform the port into a state-of-the-art container handling facility capable of attracting larger vessels and increasing Nigeria’s cargo throughput capacity.
Buhari administration approved the project.
The investment framework for the Snake Island development was approved in May 2023 by the Federal Executive Council under then President Muhammadu Buhari.
The approval authorised total private investment of approximately $974.1 million for the project under a Public-Private Partnership structure, including the 45-year concession period.
At the same time, the Federal Government also approved two other major maritime infrastructure projects:
• Development of the Ondo Multipurpose Port in Ilaje, Ondo State, with $1.48 billion in private investment and a 50-year concession.
• Expansion and development of the Burutu Sea Port in Delta State, involving $1.2 billion in private investment and a 40-year concession.
These projects form part of Nigeria’s broader effort to develop its blue economy and expand maritime trade capacity.
Construction partners
Engineering and construction of the Snake Island container terminal will be handled by:
• ITB Nigeria Limited
• DEME Group
ITB Nigeria Limited is part of the Chagoury Group and owned by the Chagoury family, while DEME Group is a globally recognised Belgian marine engineering and dredging company with extensive experience in port construction.
MSC profile
Founded in 1970 by Italian shipping entrepreneur Gianluigi Aponte and his wife Rafaela Aponte-Diamant, MSC has grown from a single cargo vessel into the largest container shipping company in the world.
Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the company operates in more than 155 countries and serves over 500 ports worldwide, with a fleet of roughly 900 container ships and over 200,000 employees globally.
The MSC Group also operates major logistics and maritime businesses including inland logistics through Medlog, cruise tourism through MSC Cruises, and port terminal operations across several continents.
According to Forbes, the estimated net worth of MSC founder Gianluigi Aponte is about $43.9 billion as of February 2026, placing him among the world’s richest shipping magnates. The company remains privately owned by the Aponte family, with both founders holding equal ownership stakes.
Management comments
Speaking on the development, MSC Group President Diego Aponte said the company is committed to strengthening its operations in Nigeria and across Africa.
“We are proud to expand our presence in Nigeria through this important infrastructure project. The Snake Island terminal will enhance service delivery and improve port efficiency for our customers and partners in the region,”
Chief Executive Officer of Nigerdock, Maher Jarmakani, described the agreement as a major milestone for the Nigerian maritime sector.
“We are delighted to partner with MSC in developing a world-class container terminal that will enhance Nigeria’s logistics capabilities and support economic growth,” he said.
Economic impact
Industry analysts say the project could significantly strengthen Nigeria’s maritime economy by expanding cargo handling capacity, reducing congestion at Lagos ports and attracting additional international shipping traffic.
The development is also expected to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs across maritime operations, logistics, transport services and port-related commercial activities.
Infrastructure expansion
Beyond the port development, plans are also underway for Nigeria’s first underwater tunnel, linking Ahmadu Bello Way in Victoria Island through Snake Island and connecting the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway with the Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway corridor through Badagry.
The tunnel project is expected to significantly improve freight movement and road connectivity between Lagos ports and national transport networks.
Strategic milestone
With the entry of MSC into the Snake Island development, industry observers say Nigeria is taking a significant step toward modernizing its maritime infrastructure and positioning itself as a regional hub for global shipping and trade.
For a project that has waited for decades for major international investors, the Snake Island concession represents a turning point in Nigeria’s port development strategy and a strong signal of global confidence in the country’s maritime future.
