Taiwo, the estranged wife of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, has allegedly been evicted from her Abuja home due to unpaid rent that has accumulated over the years.

Reports indicate that despite the landlord issuing her a 30-day 'Pay or Vacate' notice, Taiwo failed to comply with the directive.

The property, located at 30 Jessie Jackson Street in Asokoro, where Obasanjo’s estranged wife resides, has not paid the debt or vacated the apartment until she was ejected on Friday, October 18, 2024.

According to SaharaReporters, “Taiwo, the wife of former President Obasanjo, was evicted by her landlord last Friday over unpaid rent on her apartment, which had expired years ago.

“She is presently struggling to pay the house rent at her Asokoro residence. She was disgraced publicly, and her properties were thrown outside. As I speak, the properties are still outside the building.”

Recall that in 2023, Taiwo accused the former President of being a wicked husband when they were together.

Her comments come amid her plea for forgiveness on behalf of Obasanjo following his criticisms of traditional rulers in Iseyin, Oyo State. The former president, in his response, disowned her.

He further stated that she was suffering from mental illness and was neither his wife nor a member of his family, although they have two children together.

In retaliation, Taiwo slammed Obasanjo, accusing him of arrogance and an unshakable belief in his power.

She said: “Have you not begged me many times in the past to come back to you? Yet, you query the state of my mental health?

“You loved me very much in the past, to the extent of even beating your first wife in the house because she insulted me. It is still very painful to you that I left you, and I am still alive. God has kept me. When I couldn’t cope, I ran out and left your home because you were to pushing me mad.

“By the way, can you provide the world with evidence that the one you put in your house now as your ‘Mrs’, that you paid any bride price or took her to court to marry? She is simply answering your name because it is convenient for you. How many wives of yours did you marry officially with all marriage ceremonies performed? Please tell the world.”
