Geremi Njitap, a former Cameroonian international midfielder who played for Real Madrid and Chelsea, has requested a divorce from his wife after a DNA test revealed he is not the father of the twins born in June 2008.
The end of their marriage, as per court records obtained by our informants, stems from Toukam Fotso Laure’s alleged deception concerning the paternity of their twin children.
Born on June 5, 2008, four years before their wedding, Toukam presented the twins as her own, leading Njitap to believe they were their biological children.
Shockingly, a paternity test later revealed that the twins were fathered by Toukam’s previous partner, prompting her to admit to the deceit and encouraging Njitap to allow visitations with their biological father.
Njitap stated that the marriage, which initially held the promise of harmony and excitement, quickly deteriorated into a nightmare.
The document reveals that Toukam resorted to offensive insults, branding Njitap as a “low neighbourhood furrower” and subjecting him to verbal abuse, while also preventing him from entering their shared bedroom, forcing him to seek refuge elsewhere in their home.
This high-profile divorce case has garnered public interest, highlighting the complexities of relationships among the wealthy and the painful repercussions of deceit and emotional abuse in marriages.
Throughout his career, Geremi showcased his versatility by excelling in various positions such as right back, right midfield, and defensive midfielder. His attributes included power, pace, a combative style, and an impressive free-kick ability.
Notably, Geremi achieved significant success during his time at Real Madrid and Chelsea, securing the UEFA Champions League with the former and domestic honors with the latter.
Geremi’s international career was equally impressive, earning 118 caps for Cameroon between 1996 and 2010, with 13 goals to his name.
He participated in seven Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, triumphing in 2000 and 2002, as well as the World Cup in 2002 and 2010. Additionally, he clinched a gold medal at the 2000 Olympics, further solidifying his status as a distinguished footballer.
