In a tragic turn of events, a wealthy businessman, Mr. Ola Onabayo, has reportedly suffered a devastating loss following the death of his wife, Mrs. Funmi Onabayo, whom he had restricted from leaving their home for several months. Sources say the businessman, under the influence of a spiritualist, believed that his wealth and success were tied to his wife’s fidelity.
Mr. Onabayo, a prominent figure in the real estate industry, was said to have become increasingly paranoid after receiving advice from a local spiritualist that his prosperity depended on his wife’s loyalty. Acting on this belief, he allegedly began to closely monitor her movements, banning her from leaving their home and limiting her contact with family and friends.
Reports indicate that Mrs Onabayo, who was once an active member of several social and charity organizations, had become isolated and withdrawn due to her husband’s restrictions. Neighbours revealed that it had been months since they last saw her outside the couple’s expensive mansion in Ikeja GRA, sparking concerns about her well-being.
Tragedy struck last night when Mrs Adebayo was found dead in their home under mysterious circumstances. Although details surrounding her death remain unclear, sources suggest she may have been suffering from untreated health issues exacerbated by the isolation.
Family members of the deceased expressed shock and outrage, accusing Mr Onabayo of emotional abuse and negligence. A cousin of the late Mrs Onabayo, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, revealed that the family had been aware of the spiritualist’s influence on Mr Onabayo but never imagined it would lead to such a tragic outcome.
“He believed everything that spiritualists told him, and he stopped trusting his wife. It’s heartbreaking that she had to go through this,” the cousin said.
Local authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mrs Onabayo’s death, and Mr Onabayo has reportedly been taken in for questioning. The role of the spiritualist in the tragic events is also being scrutinized.
