A marriage between Mr. Olukayode and Mrs. Modupeola has reportedly ended just two weeks after their wedding, following a dispute over a luxury SUV allegedly gifted to the bride by her former employer.
According to reports circulating online, Mrs. Modupeola previously worked with a Lebanese-owned company in Ilorin, Kwara State, where she earned a monthly salary of ₦400,000.
She resigned and moved to Abuja after getting married.Less than a week after the wedding, a brand-new Toyota SUV valued at over ₦70 million* was reportedly delivered to the couple’s home as a farewell gift from the Managing Director of her former company.The gift, however, sparked conflict.
Mr. Olukayode, a banker, was said to have objected to accepting such an expensive vehicle from another man and insisted that it be returned.
He reportedly expressed discomfort over having the SUV in their home.Mrs. Modupeola disagreed. She maintained that the vehicle was an official farewell gift and noted that other staff had received similar benefits from the company in the past.
Efforts to resolve the issue reportedly involved the couple’s pastor and the head of Mr. Olukayode’s family, who appealed to Mrs. Modupeola to return the vehicle to save the marriage.
Both parties, however, stood their ground.The disagreement ultimately led to the dissolution of the marriage just two weeks after the wedding.The story has since generated widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians divided over who should have compromised to preserve the union.
