Nigeria’s Wealthiest Woman, Folorunsho Alakija, Faces Marital Crisis

Nigeria’s affluent businesswoman and minister, Folorunsho Alakija, has recently encountered a significant marital challenge with her husband, Modupe Alakija, after three decades of marriage. The couple, residing in the upscale Ikoyi area of Lagos, has reportedly separated, signaling a distressing turn in their relationship.

According to reliable sources familiar with the situation, conflicts between Folorunsho and Modupe escalated, prompting the former to request privacy within their lavish home. As a consequence, Modupe has sought alternative accommodation nearby, no longer sharing the matrimonial residence with his wife.

Despite being parents to four children, the couple has been facing a strained relationship for several years, concealing their issues to maintain a unified appearance, particularly within public circles.
