Few months after actress Uche Iwuji and husband Juwon Lawal, MD/CEO ABD Fuels Plc vehemently denied that there was a crack in their one- year marriage (after allegations of infidelity was levelled against Uche) the latter has however issued a press statement on the matter . Read the statement below.

“This should serve as the official statement confirming the end to the marriage formalized on Friday, November 16th 2012 between the CEO of ABD Fuels Plc, Mr. Juwon Rasak Lawal and actress Uche Iwuji. Already, the court processes are on to give a legal seal to the separation.

Mr. Lawal was in Europe on a business tour when the story first broke through the media.  This was the reason why he could not react appropriately to it, plus the fact that he felt the event could be redeemed. Although, he would not want to talk about the reasons for the separation, Mr. Lawal is not married anymore to Miss Iwuji. And he will like to treat his estranged wife’s case as “once a friend, always a friend”.
