How Modupe Alakija, Husband Of Africa's Richest Woman Was Suspended At Ikoyi Club Over Public Fight

Reports about how Chief Modupe Alakija, Chairman of Famfa Oil and husband of Africa's richest woman, Folorunsho Alakija was recently handed a one year suspension by one of the prominent social clubs in Nigeria, Ikoyi Club in Lagos, have emerged.
In a rather surreal tale, hardly expected of his status, Alakija was suspended for engaging in gross misconduct unbecoming of a man of his social standing.
The Capital, who broke the report revealed that the club, famed for having a membership of reputable individuals, had to blind itself to Alakija's public status and wield the big stick against him after engaging in a physical exchange with another prominent member of the club. 
The said member was said to have been ‘rude’ to Alakija, which drew his ire. He reportedly accosted him,  stunned him with a blinding slap in. The man responded and also attacked Alakija, leaving an embarrassing scene that the club had to publicly frown at by slamming Alakija with an embarrassing suspension.
