On the 2nd Aug. 2008 Madam Kofo the popular movie star celebrated a marriage ceremony for her daughter in Lagos and was honored with men of influence and affluence in the society. The son-in-law Toye popularly known as Toyestic Toye presumed to be in his mid twenties then was so tiny and looking so innocent but also a dangerous and callous being. He was in the same department with Madam Kofo’s daughter (Sumbo) and in the same institution. Toye and Sumbo met themselves in school and started dating each other. The two lovers though having Dates before they met themselves broke up with their previous relationship to establish a new Romeo and Juliet with each other. Sumbo got pregnant for Toye just like in the circumstance of how Rose encountered pregnancy from Jack in the Titanic, then Sumbo became a no touch lady for her previous boyfriends. Toye then was known to be a bad boy on campus who always walks about with bad guys, in fact there was a time that he and his group went to avenge for his best friend who was beaten by touts. But now that Sumbo is pregnant, Toye started thinking of marrying Sumbo. The two lovers contracted marriage. The celebration was even published in some of the soft sale magazines selling in Lagos and Newspapers.
NOW WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE TWO LOVERS?
In 2009, Toye graduated from school and went for his NYSC, during his service year, Sumbo insisted that Toye should redeploy back to any state in the western part so they can easily access each other because at that time Sumbo was heavy with pregnancy and about to put to bed and more importantly, she does not want another girl to be having affair with her husband. Toye did not buy the idea saying NYSC is just a year and besides during public holidays he will be coming home to visit.
Sometimes later, Sumbo deliver a child and Toye did not attend the naming ceremony given excuse that the day coincides with his NYSC monthly clearance. Madam Kofo was not happy about this and started questioning her daughter on how she met such a useless boy. Then Madam Kofo told her daughter that she does not think it was Toye who owns the child (REASON 1).
Toye finished his NYSC and still did not come back home contrary to request and pressures from Madam Kofo (REASON 2) then Madam Kofo secured another accommodation for her daughter and took away the child. Toye being a callous fellow at first instance showed no feelings but eventually locates where Sumbo resides through the help of one of Sumbo’s girlfriends, but anytime Toye comes around to visit, Sumbo will not welcome him, but Toye keeps visiting anytime he is around. On some occasions Sumbo would pour water on Toye and throw stones at him telling him to get away from her life.
Later on Sumbo opened up to Toye that her mother has taken the child away and that Toye should not come to her residence again.
Recently, Toye visited Madam Kofo in her house to see his child but was also not welcome by Madam Kofo but was rather abused by Madam Kofo using all kind of names like Pauper, Church rat, Doomed, (REASON 3). And that he should not go near her daughter again or else he will regret ever been born. No one knows what the next line of action will be either from either Madam Kofo or Toye.
But at this present time Toye and Sumbo still see themselves occasionally but the Child is no where to be found.
