Socialite Farida Abdulkadir’s estranged husband breaks silence on separation

Socialite Farida Abdulkabir of House of Phreedah

Demola Odulaja, the estranged husband of socialite Farida Abdulkabir aka Farida Sobowale, has accused the businesswoman of ending their marriage with promiscuity.

Last Thursday, Farida, the chief executive officer of House of Phreedah Body Care, attempted to plunge into a lagoon from the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos. She was however stopped by passers-by.

In an interview with a Yoruba social commentator, ArewaTopeFamous, on Tuesday via Instagram Live, Odulaja alleged Farida was promiscuous and covetous.

Odulaja said he and Farida had known each other for 20 years but their relationship became unstable due to her “unrestrained and promiscuous way of living.”

He alleged they were in a sexual relationship even when she was married to her ex-husband, Tunde Sobowale, whom she bore her three children.

The London-based businessman further alleged that Farida indiscriminately visited his brother who lived close to them often and even stayed there for hours without justifying her action.

When asked what he thought about Farida’s allegation that he was 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, “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.”

Odulaja refused to comment on the allegation that Farida single-handedly financed their wedding last year with N100 million.
