Reports have surfaced online revealing why Ikoyi Club 1938 handed a one-year suspension to Modupe Alakija, the husband of billionaire Folorunsho Alakija, for physically assaulting another member of the club over facemask.
A letter dated October 27, 2021, which was Alakija’s response to a mail sent by the club for him to explain his side of the story, showed that he had a brawl with Ashish Gajjar.
In the letter obtained by TheCapital, Alakija described the incident as a “criminal matter” which he did not believe a committee set up by the club had power to try.
