“Hello everyone, I just got a message from Mr Femi Otedola, my husband’s friend. He just gave us N50 million.

Otedola’s support comes shortly after Sholape cried out on social media over issues surrounding her late husband’s estate, who passed away in 2022 after a battle with pancreatic cancer in Madrid, Spain.
In a viral video, Sholape alleged that she received court documents from her co-wife, Wosilat Okoya, regarding properties belonging to their late husband.
She claimed Wosilat disregarded their husband’s wishes, withholding properties and assets meant for her children, and trying to take possession of the entire estate.
Sholape further alleged that documents relating to some of the properties and vehicles had been altered after her husband’s death.

She insisted she has evidence to support her claims and called on her late husband to “judge the matter spiritually,” while maintaining that the inheritance rightfully belongs to all of his children.
