A Lagos State High Court ruled that Mrs. Adenike Ajayi is the sole and lawful widow of Dr. Tosin Ajayi, rejecting the claims of Helen Prest, who had asserted herself as a spouse. The court found that the marriage between Adenike Ajayi and Dr. Tosin Ajayi remained legally intact until his death, despite a prolonged period of separation. The ruling concluded a five-year legal battle over the deceased's estate and marital status.
