A marriage between newly wedded Mr. Olukayode and Mrs. Modupeola has reportedly ended just two weeks after their wedding following a disagreement over a luxury vehicle allegedly presented to the bride by her former employer.
According to accounts circulating online, Mrs. Modupeola had worked for a Lebanese-owned company in Ilorin, Kwara State, where she reportedly earned a monthly salary of ₦400,000 before resigning and relocating to Abuja after marrying her husband.
Less than a week after the wedding, a brand-new Toyota SUV, said to be worth more than ₦70 million, was reportedly delivered to the couple’s residence as a farewell gift from the Managing Director of her former company.
The gift allegedly became a source of conflict after Mr. Olukayode, a banker, objected to accepting such an expensive vehicle from another man. He reportedly insisted that the SUV be returned, expressing discomfort with keeping it in their home.
Mrs. Modupeola, however, reportedly declined, maintaining that the vehicle was an official farewell gift and noting that other employees had previously received similar benefits from the company.
Efforts to resolve the dispute reportedly included intervention by the couple’s pastor and the head of Mr. Olukayode’s family, who appealed to Mrs. Modupeola to return the vehicle in the interest of preserving the marriage. Despite the intervention, both parties reportedly remained firm in their positions.
The disagreement ultimately led to the reported dissolution of the marriage just two weeks after the couple exchanged their wedding vows.
The claims have continued to generate widespread reactions on social media, with many users expressing differing opinions on whether either spouse should have made a compromise to save the marriage.
