Anita filed to divorce Paul Okoye, aka Rude Boy last year, with the official petition citing irreconcilable differences as the basis for divorce.
She filed the papers at a High Court in Abuja court.

"That I know as a fact that while sending I and petitioner's sister packing, the Respondent also boasted that the reason for his actions was to ensure that the Petitioner's wings were clipped and that she had no one else to lean on.
"That I know as a fact that the Respondent has shown minimal interest in the upbringing of the children and rarely participates in discipline of the children.
"That I know as a fact that the Respondent has always been travelling on music tours and is barely at home and does not have time for family life.”

"That I know as a fact that the Respondent upon completion of the mall, reneged on the agreement and failed to give TannkCo a space in the mall.
"That I know as a fact that I have been close to the petitioner and the respondent since their marriage and I know that the Petitioner has endured a lot of painful experiences in the marriage and I was always encouraging her to continue to do her best for the marriage to survive.
