Taiwo, the estranged wife of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, has been forced out of her Abuja home due to unpaid rent accumulated over several years.
The landlord of the property, located at 30 J***e J*****n Street in Asokoro, had previously issued a 30-day ‘Pay or Vacate’ notice, which Taiwo apparently failed to comply with.
Obasanjo served as the country’s head of state from 1976 to 1979 and later as president from 1999 to 2007. However, the estranged wife of the former President neither paid the debt nor vacated the apartment until she was ejected on Friday, October 18, 2024.
“Taiwo, wife of former President Obasanjo was evicted by her landlord last Friday over unpaid rent on her apartment which had even expired for years now. She is presently finding it hard to pay the house rent at her Asokoro residence. She was disgr3ced publicly and her properties were thrown outside. As I speak, the properties are still outside the building,” a source told SaharaReporters.
It would be recalled that in a dramatic exchange of words in 2023, Taiwo accused the former President of being a wi3k3d husband when they were together. The remark came in the wake of her plea for forgiveness on behalf of Obasanjo, following which the former President disowned her.
