Folorunsho Alakija, Nigeria’s wealthiest woman, and her husband, Modupe Alakija, who have shared nearly three decades of marriage, are reportedly going through a separation.
As reported by The Will, the affluent businesswoman’s marriage has encountered significant challenges. Despite raising four children together, the couple is no longer residing in their opulent marital residence in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The pair have reportedly faced consistent disagreements, leading Folorunsho to seek solitude within her home. This decision prompted her husband to find alternative accommodations nearby.
Sources familiar with the situation suggest that, despite maintaining a public facade, the couple’s relationship has been strained for several years. Their unity has been sustained primarily due to their prominent public image.
