Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello Wanted In The U.S. For Child Kidnapping

After her very much talked about Letter to her father, Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, the first daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, is wanted in the U.S. for child kidnapping as well as delinquency in court-mandated child support fees.

According to court documents obtained by Saharareporters, Senator Obasanjo-Bello was declared wanted by U.S. District Court Judge Charles T.L. Anderson for kidnapping and stowing away her son after another court had awarded custody to her estranged husband.

Court documents show that Iyabo Obasanjo and Mr. Akeem Bello were married in September 1999, a few months after her father was elected and sworn-in as Nigeria's president. Going by court records obtained by our correspondent, the marriage did not last beyond 2003.

 She lost the custody of her child to her husband. And as expected, this invariably did not go down well with the lanky ebony toned lady who lost her senatorial seat in the 2011 elections to Senator Gbenga Obadara.
Due to her stubbornness, Iyabo Obasanjo violated the court's ruling by taking custody of the child and bringing him to Nigeria.  In her bid to run away from the long arms of the American law, putting into cognisance the implications of her action, and the ensuing wrath the American court will visit on her; Iyabo has since then become a residence of Canada.

An inside source at the American Embassy said an arrest warrant has already being issued to bring Iyabo back to America to face fresh charges for contempt of court.
