He probably forgot his status in society, and that of his wife, and descended to the level of an “area boy.” For being a bad boy, no thanks to his unexpected conduct, he got thrown out from the circle of a decent Circle he belonged to. And he would remain out of that circle for a year.
Folorunso Alakija, the beloved husband of Billionaire Modupe Alakija, Africa’s richest black woman, has been suspended from the very high profile Ikoyi Club for behaving in a manner beneath contempt. He was suspended for gross misconduct.
Alakija, according to his suspension letter, physically assaulted and abused a member of the Club.
This magazine could not confirm exactly what reduced the urbane and otherwise gentle-looking Alakija to a boxer, or who his victim was, but it was gathered that he beat his victim, mercilessly, almost, until he was rescued by shocked onlookers.
In the letter of suspension, Alakija was suspended for one year, beginning from December 1, 2021 to November 30, 2022.
The letter, titled: SUSPENSION, with a rider, MR MODUPE ALAKIJA (A.518), with his photograph displayed, signed by Bamidele Ibironke, Honorary Secretary, reads:
“The above named member of the Club is hereby placed on a one year (1) from the club for physically assaulting and abusing a fellow member, conduct injurious to the interest of the Club, thereby violating Rule 9(C) of the Club’s Rule Book.
“This suspension takes effect from December 1st, 2021, to November 30th, 2022.
