The President of the Court, Mrs Yemisi Ojo, ordered Busuyi to be responsible for the children’s welfare, school fees and payment of the sum of N10, 000 as monthly feeding allowance for the children.
Ojo ordered that the payment would be made through the registry beginning from August 2019.
She also ordered the respondent to pay the children’s school fees in their respective schools beginning for the next academic session.
The court also ordered Olatunji to allow the children spend holidays with their father.
