A Nigerian court has legally recognized Adenike Ajayi as the lawful widow of the late Dr. Tosin Ajayi, resolving a dispute over his estate. The ruling definitively rejected claims made by Helen Prest, a former beauty queen, who asserted she was also married to the deceased doctor. Mrs. Ajayi and her children successfully sought a court declaration confirming their status as the sole beneficiaries entitled to widowhood rights. The court granted all requests from Mrs. Ajayi and her children, effectively dismissing Prest’s competing claim to spousal status. This decision concludes the legal battle regarding the rightful inheritor of Dr. Ajayi’s estate and clarifies the line of succession. The judgment provides legal certainty for the family following the doctor’s passing.
