Diezani Madueke’s enstranged husband ask court to stop her from using his name
Admiral Alison Madueke has filed a petition with the Lagos State High Court, seeking a formal declaration to dissolve his marriage to Diezani Madueke.
The petition, submitted, not only requests the termination of their marital union but also asks for a court order to prevent the Diezani Madueke from continuing to use his last name.
Madueke, a former military governor of Anambra & Imo states, married Diezani on June 30, 1999 under the Marriage Act. This was stated in Madueke’s petition for a jactitation of marriage, which is a declaration that the marital union has ended.

The former Chief of Naval Staff argued that Diezani continued to use his name despite their marriage being legally over which was damaging to his reputation and could lead to unintended consequences, including mistaken liability, particularly given the corruption allegations against her.
Madueke, in the petition noted that Diezani had previously filed for divorce at the Nasarawa State High Court in Mararaba Gurku in November 2021.
