The source further said Dino Melaye has turned his wife into a punching bag and that anytime they had an argument his wife would end up in the hospital being treated for all kinds of injuries.
Aside from allegedly sleeping with his house girl,which was one of the major problems, there are also confirmed whispers that sometimes when Tokunbo went to work he removed her pix from the house walls and brought in different women in their matrimonial bed telling them his wife had died,and even getting the domestic staff to say their madam was resting with the Lord”.
