How my ex-wife laundered ₦2.8b through fake account – Amen Estate owner Gbadamosi
Nigerian businessman, real estate developer, and politician, Babatunde Gbadamosi has accused his ex-wife of, Mrs. Folasade Balogun of using an illicit account to launder ₦2.8b of company funds.
This revelation came in when Gbadamosi cleared the air on reports of Babalakin and Co, lawyers to Redbrick Homes International Limited, Amen City Ltd, Ashlead Estates, and Ms Folasade Balogun, over the ownership of Amen Estate and Amen Estate Phase 2, Eleko Beach Road, Ibeju-Lekki.
Gbadamosi had earlier in a statement, dated 19 September 2024, been accused of making false claims over the ownership of Redbrick Homes International Limited, Amen City Ltd, Ashlead Estates.
The lawyers to Redbrick Homes International Limited, Amen City Ltd, Ashlead Estates, and Ms Folasade Balogun , said in a statement that Gbadamosi voluntarily relinquished his entire shareholding interests in those companies, following his voluntary resignation as a director in those companies since July 2021.
They backed up their statement with the publication of Gbadamosi’s letter of voluntary resignation dated 1st July 2021.
According to the law firm, “His (Gbadamosi) directorship resignations and shareholding relinquishment have been duly filed at the Corporate Affairs Commission and are available to the public for verification.”
Reacting, the Lagos-based business tycoon, Gbadamosi, faulted Babalakin and Co’s claims.
Gbadamosi explained that a document authored by Babalakin recently came to his attention which refuted the CAVEAT EMPTOR he recently circulated regarding the dissipation of marital assets accruing to the 21-year-long marriage between him and Mrs. Folasade Balogun Gbadamosi, describing it as meaningless.
“A document authored by Babalakin and Co has recently come to my attention, which purports to rebut the CAVEAT EMPTOR I recently circulated regarding the dissipation of marital assets accruing to the 21-year-long marriage between myself and Mrs. Folasade Balogun Gbadamosi.
“In 2018, unknown to me, Mrs. Folasade Balogun Gbadamosi opened a secret account for Redbrick Homes International Ltd at Keystone Bank. She forged my signature to open the account.
“At mediation, having discovered the existence of this illicit account, I asked her about it. Her lawyer, Bayo Adaralegbe, threatened to “go after” me for signing for Sade – with her permission – when I registered the company in 2003, because she was not in Nigeria and the registration needed to be done to complete the purchase of the land at Amen Estate.
“My desire for peace and a disloyal lawyer forced me to be silent on it. I was to later discover through a police investigation, that as of June 2022, Mrs. Folasade Balogun Gbadamosi had laundered ₦2.8b of company funds through this illicit account.
“Based on her failure to disclose this important fact at mediation, I opted, upon legal advice, to rescind the mediated agreement which had resulted in my resignation, and unknown to me, the immediate appointment of her lawyer, Bayo Adaralegbe of Babalakin and Co, to the board of the same Redbrick Homes International Ltd as a director!
“The validity of the mediation settlement used to defraud and steal the companies from me is the subject of ongoing litigation and because she knows no court, by public policy, would allow the fraudulent agreement to stand. She wants to quickly sell off the marital assets before the court voids the agreement.
That is why that document she’s waving about is meaningless. It was obtained by her DECEPTION and FRAUDULENT suppression of vital information from me at the mediation.
“Mrs. Folasade Balogun Gbadamosi has avoided personally responding to the CAVEAT EMPTOR, which I issued because she is afraid of going on the record publicly to be caught in a LIE, as she does habitually, even before courts and under oath, hence her resorting to getting her legal representatives to respond with a tissue of half-truths.”

…As Oborevwori Donates Buses To Institute
The Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, Delta State, has expressed readiness to collaborate with the State Government on international oil and gas training programmes designed to equip youths with employable skills and drive economic growth in the state.
Speaking during a courtesy call on Governor Sheriff Oborevwori at Government House, Asaba, on Tuesday, the Principal and Chief Executive Officer of PTI, Dr. Samuel Onoji, said the Institute was committed to offering discounted and subsidised international trainings in oil and gas to enhance the employability of Delta youths.
Onoji commended Governor Oborevwori’s infrastructural drive, describing developments under his administration as unprecedented in the history of the state.
He also appreciated the Governor for reconnecting electricity to the Institute and invited the Governor to the Institute’s International Hydrocarbons and Scientific Conference scheduled for October at the PTDF Hall, Abuja.
In his remarks, Governor Oborevwori commended PTI and the Minister of Petroleum, Senator Heineken Lokpobri, for releasing 25 hectares of land to the state government, stressing that the gesture reflected their commitment to Delta’s growth and development.
“PTI is very dear to us in Delta because it opened the door for other federal government establishments to come into our state.
“We don’t take anything concerning PTI lightly. Your visit today is a demonstration of your commitment, and I assure you that this government will continue to support the Institute in all its endeavours,” the Governor said.
As part of his support, Governor Oborevwori approved the donation of a Coaster Bus and an 18-seater Hiace Bus to meet the mobility needs of staff and students of PTI.
Established in 1972, PTI is regarded as the foremost petroleum training institute in Africa, mandated to train and retrain skilled manpower for the oil and gas industry.

‘No More N865/Ltr’ – Dangote Releases List of Filling Stations Selling Petrol At Cheaper Rate (New Petrol Prices by States)
The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a fresh reduction in petrol pump prices, offering Nigerians a much-needed relief at a time of rising living costs.
Starting from Monday, September 15, petrol will now be sold below N865 per litre at select partner filling stations across the country.
This announcement comes alongside the refinery’s new distribution model, which involves the use of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks to deliver fuel directly to stations. The approach is expected to cut down logistics costs and improve fuel availability nationwide.
New Petrol Prices by States
According to Dangote Refinery, the price adjustments will immediately take effect in several states, with plans to expand nationwide.
Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, and Ekiti: N841 per litre (previously between N865 and N880)
Abuja, Delta, Rivers, Edo, and Kwara: N851 per litre (previously between N890 and N910)
Dangote emphasized that this is just the beginning, promising that more states will benefit from similar reductions in the coming weeks.
Partner Filling Stations Selling at New Prices
The refinery has partnered with both long-standing and newly added marketers to make cheaper petrol available to Nigerians.

Why the price drop matters
The price cut, which averages N24 lower per litre, is directly linked to Dangote’s new direct distribution strategy. By rolling out thousands of CNG-powered trucks and establishing CNG “daughter booster” stations across the country, the refinery aims to reduce dependence on middlemen, thereby slashing transportation costs that usually drive fuel prices higher.
At the moment, Dangote has taken delivery of 1,000 out of the 4,000 trucks it ordered. This investment in logistics is expected to ensure steady nationwide distribution in the months ahead.
Benefits for petrol dealers and marketers
Beyond reducing retail prices, Dangote Refinery has also extended an invitation to filling station owners across Nigeria to join its distribution network. The company is offering:
Free delivery logistics through its CNG-powered truck fleet
Access to credit facilities: Dealers who purchase 500,000 litres can obtain an additional 500,000 litres on credit for two weeks, under bank guarantee
This system is designed to support petrol dealers, manufacturers, transport operators, and other large-scale users while ensuring Nigerians pay less at the pump.
NNPC price comparison
Interestingly, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has also recently adjusted its pump price to N865 per litre, which remains slightly higher than Dangote’s new rates in most states.
The competition between the state-owned NNPC and the privately owned Dangote refinery may continue to shape petrol pricing in Nigeria in the coming months.

2027 Election: “Tell Tinubu This”, – Primate Ayodele Sends Strong Warning To Tinubu In New Prophecy
Prophet Ayodele has consistently been in the news week in, week out. It is either he is releasing a fresh prophecy that’s gaining traction or a previous prohecy has just come to fulfilment and people are talking about it.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele stated that the present administration is full of wrong advisers who are pushing for irrelevant policies, and making good advisers enemies of the president.
The prophet warned the president against making good advisers his enemies, as it will lead to the end of his government if care isn’t taken.
“Tinubu’s administration is full of wrong advisers; they are turning him against his good advisers, and he will make them his enemies. He is creating enemies, and those whom he thinks love him would be his worst enemies.
“There are lots of irrelevant policies they are using to kill Tinubu’s government; these are policies that will build up massive protests against the government and division. He should do the needful; there are several irrelevant policies already, but the focus ought to be on what will make people happy. “
Primate Ayodele mentioned some things the president should focus on, and they include development and surplus for the people. He stated that road construction is good, but it’s not enough for the people.
He commended the president for his efforts on insecurity but urged him to do more.
“Tinubu should focus on development, on how to create surplus for the people. Road construction is good, but it’s not the only thing people need; he needs to look into other areas.
“On insecurity, he is doing well, but he should do more, activate forest security in order to end kidnapping. He should increase the salaries of national assembly members because it will turn the nation into chaos. He should also eradicate darkness, and not add more tariffs and taxes to basic things in the country.”
