BEAUTICIAN TOYIN ALAKIU IN RENT MESS -Owes landlord for two years

Lagos socialite and beautician, Toyin Alakiu, is currently having it rough with her finances. The delectable lady who is the MD/CEO of Fresh Looks, a beauty outfit on Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos has not been able to pay her rent now for two years.

And it has become so bad that her landlord, Evang. Myke Ikoku, besides issuing her a quit notice, has equally dragged her to court. The case is currently going on in one of the courts in Lagos.

Interestingly, the petite and pretty businesswoman has also not been having it easy on the home front. Her husband of many years, Tayo Alakiu, whose praises top Yoruba musicians like K-1 De Ultimate once sang to high heavens, has also abandoned her for another woman, Kehinde, daughter of late Chief Solomon Ayoku, owner of Goldengate Restaurant in Ikoyi, Lagos.

In fact, Tayo and Kehinde now have a child together – which was allegedly one of the reasons he left her. Tayo and Toyin were married for years without any issue.

Attempts to speak with either Mrs. Alakiu or Evang. Ikoku were unsuccessful. However, a source close to both of them told us that the former is indebted to the latter to the tune of about N3million. “I think she pays N1. something million per annum. And if you multiply that by two, it will be in the region of N3million or thereabout which she has not been able to settle”.

One of her children, Onyeka, spent the whole of Wednesday, October 18, with her, plaiting her hair and even revisiting one of the woman’s classic compositions, Ochie Dike, with her. Narrating what exactly happened that day, she said: “We sang Ochie Dike Nnem, the song she wrote for her own mother and we sang praises to God, in our usual manner. She slept off and I left. I promised to come back on Tuesday. But I have been praying ever since, that if it was her time, that God will take her gently and peacefully in her sleep. That is exactly what happened. I give all the glory to my God. May my mother’s indomitable spirit rest in perfect peace. Ochie Dike, Ka Omesia. Dalu nnem. I love you”, she said in an emotion – laden voice. Her burial plans will be announced in due course.
