One of Africa’s richest woman cum evangelist and philanthropist, Folorunsho Alakija, has reportedly separated from her husband, Modupe, who she’s been married to for three decades.
The mother of four has been having frequent squabbles in her matrimonial home which also meant that both couple are sorta separated and she had demanded for utmost privacy leading to her also living alone but not with her husband. However, she’s been living within the same Ikoyi all the same despite not with her husband.
Sources told online news platform, THE WILL, that has not all been smooth sailing for the couple these past few years and they have allegedly been forced to put up a united front because of their status in the society.
Efforts made by this platform to also reach out to the husband, Modupe, were not fruitful as the calls and text messages are not answered or replied.
Barely five months ago, THE WILL, has allegedly been battling some health challenges particularly with her eyes. This has made her family and friends trying as much as they could to put a lid on it just as they tried to with her current marital status.
Her health challenge became more pronounced when one of her sons tied the knot early last year and very unlike the Alakijas of old, there was little or no noise about the marriage ceremony.
During the wedding, the media was tactically controlled, photographers were not allowed to take pictures arbitrarily and anyone found doing so was asked to delete them.
The planning of the wedding was on a need-to-know basis and guests who got the invitations were well scrutinized.
