After more than 30 years of marriage, Folorunsho Alakija, the wealthiest woman in Nigeria, parted ways with her spouse

The wealthiest woman in the nation, Folorunsho Alakija, is apparently going through a marital problem after being married to her husband, Modupe Alakija, for more than thirty years.

The Will newspaper reports that the former society matriarch, who is currently a gospel minister, has split from her husband.

The couple decided to live apart because they had been having frequent arguments, according to sources cited in the paper.

Modupe Alakija is said to no longer spend nights in the couple’s highbrow Ikoyi residence in Lagos.

The alleged strain in their marriage has led Folorunsho Alakija to demand utmost privacy, prompting her husband to seek accommodation elsewhere within the Ikoyi neighborhood.

While the reasons behind the reported marital discord remain undisclosed, insiders suggest that the couple has been putting up a united front due to their status in Nigerian society.

It is rumoured that Modupe Alakija no longer stays overnight at the couple’s upscale Ikoyi home in Lagos.

Due to what is said to be pressure in their marriage, Folorunsho Alakija has demanded the highest level of privacy, which has caused her spouse to look for housing elsewhere in the Ikoyi neighbourhood.

Insiders claim that because of their standing in Nigerian culture, the pair has been putting up a united front despite the rumoured marital discord’s unidentified causes.
