July 31, (THEWILL) – Last weekend, socialite and business woman, Princess Folashade Abiodun Omotade, was conferred with a chieftaincy title. She is now the Mojirade Egba of Egbaland. While members of her family and friends, such as former President Olusegun Obasanjo and former Minister of Industry, Adenike Akande, rallied round her during the installation and the after-party, her husband and immediate past Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Hakeem Odumosu, was conspicuously absent.
Despite the fact that two former top shots in the police force, retired Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Adisa Bolanta and the former Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, Amusa Bello, were there to celebrate with her, Odumosu who is supposed to be by her side didn’t make his appearance at the party. The programme of event and backdrop pictures also did not indicate that the wealthy businesswoman still bears her husband’s name. The name, Odumosu was boldly omitted everywhere. His absence may not be unconnected to the alleged trouble brewing in their once peaceful paradise.
Modupe Haastrup, a former partner of Justice Adesola Oguntade, the retired Nigerian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, is alleged to have caused the trouble in the Odumosu’s home. She is an alleged old flame of the retired commissioner who allegedly took a break from the relatioship after hooking another moneybag in the person of the retired Justice. After her relationship with the legal luminary crashed, she allegedly took off to allegedly enew her relationship with her old lover, Odumosu and allegedly caused a rift in Odumosu’s marriage to Omotade.
Folashade, who is a big player in the oil and gas sector, was conferred with the title by his Royal Highness, Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo III, the Alake of Egbaland due to her contribution to the development of Egbaland as an indigene of Ogun State.
After the installation ceremony, the socialite cum businesswoman treated her guests to a wonderful party that was well attended by society bigwigs, politicians and business moguls. Juju maestro, Chief Sunday Adeniyi Adegeye, also known as King Sunny Ade was on the band stand to thrill guests with music.
Princess Folashade Omotade was born in Ghana, though a native of Ogun State. She later relocated with her parents to Nigeria where she continued her education. She attended Obafemi Awolowo University where she studied Sociology and later pitched her tent in the business world.
