The divorce petition filed at the Lagos High Court by Afro Beat King, Femi Kuti against his estranged wife, Funke is yet to come up for trial. Reason for this is at the door steps of the annual vacations by judges of the Lagos High Court. On Tuesday, September 15, 2011, when the case was supposed to come up for hearing after an initial adjournment, the presiding judge, L. A. M Folami was said to be on vacation and the court could not sit that day.
However, counsels to both Femi Kuti and Funke, Barristers Felix Inneh and A.O Oduntan respectively will now meet in court on Thursday October 20,2011,to agree on a date for the divorce case to come up for trial. The principal characters, Femi Kuti and Funke have not appeared in court for once since February 2011, when the petition for divorce was filed. The two once-upon-a-time lovers are at the moment concentrating on their careers.
Presently, Femi is on a musical tour of Europe while Funke, an ex-staffer of National Sports Lottery, is busy with her new found venture artist and event management. The union contracted in 1995 produced only one male child, Omorinmade. Things fell apart between the two in 2003, following accusations and counter accusations bothering on infidelity.
