TheNewsGuru recalls that on Thursday, reports had surfaced that Fani-Kayode split with Chikwendu, a mother of three, after six years of marriage.

At about the same time when news of her separation from the ex-minister flooded the public domain, Chikwendu appeared to have turned to God for consolation.

The ex-beauty queen took to her Instagram page on Thursday evening to share a beautiful photo of her alongside a scriptural message — in what seemed to be a consolatory post.

In the cryptic post, she embraced quotes from Psalm 126:1-3 which talked about great things that happened after the “Lord turned again the captivity of Zion”.

“When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter,” she wrote without speaking on the divorce.

“And our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them. The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.”

In the same vein Okey Onyemachi, Precious’ uncle, had debunked claims of domestic violence occurring between the estranged couple.

“I’m only aware of when she had to pull the knife. She videotaped it, and was making all sorts of comments and allegations. I felt it was when she had a swing,” he had said.

“The police came, they tried and pleaded. The testimony I got that made me leave Owerri, where I stay, for Abuja was that efforts were made by the female police officer who led the team.

“They persuaded her to calm down. She was shouting. We had to go back to get a reinforcement. There was a doctor who also came and tried to assist in various ways until she was gotten down.

“Hefty men were brought. She tried to stab those who came, including my sister and Femi himself. Certain statements were being made, false allegations of someone wanting to set up some things.”
