July 13, (THEWILL) –Â One of those currently counting their losses over the arrest of Buzz bar owners, Sunbo Winfunke and Amandianeze Boniface Odenigbo, is Freda Francis, a socialite who operates a high-end beauty spa in Ikoyi. This is because she is alleged to be in a sizzling relationship with Odenigbo, also known as Armani. Although the latter, like most men, likes to stray once in a while, he is believed to share such a strong bond with the single mother of one that he always retreats to base for fear of losing her. Freda and Armani were said to have begun their hush hush relationship after her relationship with the son of a former governor of Lagos State resulted in the birth of their son, Alexander. Due to his marital status, the illicit affair had to end, prompting her to quickly move on to Armani who was liquid enough to fund her lifestyle.
Now that the bubble has burst on Armani and his partner’s fraudulent activities, there are talks that Freda is seriously considering jumping ship and leaving Armani to stew in his own mess while she finds a suitable replacement for him. It would be recalled that THEWILL reported the arrest, gestapo style, of Armani and Sunbo by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for alleged fraud to the tune of $35m on Tuesday June 29. The partners were granted stringent bail conditions which they have since met as investigation into the matter continues.
