Demola Odulaja, the estranged husband of Farida Abdulkabir, also known as Farida Sobowale, the Chief Executive Officer of House of Phreedah Body Care, has detailed why he split up with the Lagos socialite after roughly two months of their lavish wedding.
Odulaja claimed in an Instagram Live chat with a Yoruba social commentator, ArewaTopeFamous, on Tuesday that the break-up was not unrelated to Sobowale’s alleged promiscuity, deception, and covetousness, among other things.
HowNG had earlier reported that Sobowale almost plunged into the lagoon at the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos after the marriage failed but was restrained by passers-by on Thursday.
Sobowale stated that she could not bear the consequences of her failed marriage, which spurred her choice to end her life.
Odulaja, on the other hand, stated that his relationship with Sobowale had lasted over 20 years but had become unstable due to her “unrestrained and promiscuous way of living.”
He also recalled a time when Sobowale had concurrent intimate connections with him and several other guys before they married.
The London-based entrepreneur also claimed that Farida frequently visited his brother, who lived nearby, and even lingered for hours without justification.
While fielding questions on Sobowale’s allegation and label as a gigolo, Odulaja said, “I am extremely wealthy. I live in a 22-bedroom mansion in Gbagada.
“I am not a gigolo. I come from a wealthy home and have been flying first class long before now, people know me well in London,” he added.
Continuing, he noted, “When I got back to Nigeria from London in 2009, Farida met me in Lagos in 2010. That same year, I took her to China to start an importation business which of course yielded results and was the beginning of her travelling.”
He also claimed that he had romances with Sobowale while she was married to her ex-husband, Tunde Sobowale, for whom she bore three children, but remained silent on the purported N100 million wedding that she paid for herself.
