Actress Doris Simeon recounts grueling child custody battle with ex-husband Daniel Ademinokan
Sultry Nollywood actress Doris Simeon has recounted her grueling child custody battle with her ex-husband Daniel Ademinokan who is also a movie producer.
The fair-skinned mother of one who opened up an interview with Biola Bayo on ‘Talk to B’ said that her former husband took her son away from her when he was just 4 years old.
Doris stated further that she did not feel bothered when Daniel Ademinokan got remarried later on but the only pain she feels is not allowing her to mother her child.

She said; “I might have had my fault, he also had his fault. That’s why I said I didn’t feel anything when they got married, but the only thing is that he didn’t allow me to mother my child. That’s the only painful part.
He took my son without my consent, he was just 4 years old when he came to the US. He was 3 when I mothered my child last. I was calling, but he wouldn’t pick up, and when he picked up, he would tell me he would call me back as he was busy, and for another 3 to 4 months, I wouldn’t get through.
I was frustrated and depressed, but I can never show that because I knew the family I came from as my parents told us to be strong, no matter what you’re going through in life. I just went for a movie premiere and someone told me I am not here to see my son. That was how they took us to court”.
