LADY THORPE Boutique and Unisex Salon that used to be the
rave in Lagos especially Ikeja amongst top society ladies and men in the 90s
through to the 2000s is no more; at least for now. The salon that has its
location at 58 Allen Avenue was yesterday shut down while its properties were carted
away by court officials who came handy with a Writ of Fieri Facias (Fi. Fa.)
The owner who is simply known as Rose is alleged to have
collected rent from different people totaling up to N16Million without
remitting it to the rightful owner. Though,
tales has it that the married lady was
at a time dating the owner of the property, hence, her queried control; but,
after the demise of the owner, the children took it upon themselves to retrieve
their legacy. That was why they sought the law.
After some years of legal battle, the court gave its judgment
against Lady Thorpe and the law swung into action yesterday when all outfits in
the building including Lady Thorpe were sealed up and their properties were
carted away.
Many of the occupants are in serious pains because they’ve
just renewed their tenancy without having knowledge that she was not the
rightful owner of the property. Also, many of her workers who just paid their
rents are now in serious distress, not
knowing what next to do.
Interestingly, Madam Lady Thorpe who had hints of what to
come had lied to many around her in the building that she has just lost her
father and she needed to go back to Ghana to
bury him and as such disappeared into thin air.
We have it on good source that the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been contacted by some of the aggrieved and soon,
she may be declared wanted
