A source who
spoke to us from a northern state in Nigeria described the love between Fernandez and Halima as one that was “beyond emotional exploit”. Halima, Kano born blue blood is said to
have been introduced to the late African Chief
by his friend and late Emir of Kano,
Alhaji Ado Beyero who passed away on
June 5, 2014 at age 80. Fernandez
and Bayero were good friends in
their life time to the extent that the late emir turbaned the late Baron of Dudley as the “Garsan Fulani
Kano” (Champion of the right of the Fulani people of Kano).

alimony case with another woman he loves but who broke his heart”

not be far from facts and reaction coming to Asabeafrika that indeed,
the late Deinde Fernandez married Halima legally and Abimbola his heiress might be set for a shock if
eventualities justify her claims to be wrong.

that emerged between her and some of her friends on her tweeter handle which
was said to have equally led to a secret war between her and her departed
father.
