DEWUNMI OGUNSANYA’S FIXATION WITH LUXURY PROPERTIES...BUYS SUJIMOTO’S LUXURY PROPERTY IN IKOYI
When successful businessman and founding chairman of Multichoice, Adewunmi Ogunsanya, completed his fetching fortress on Queen’s Drive, Ikoyi, Lagos, he envisaged that he and his beautiful wife, Moji, had a sumptuous, befitting place they would grow grey together in. Death had other more sinister plans as it snatched Moji through a debilitating cancer in March 2014. The Ogunsanya home, with its expansive outlay and expensive finishings, is regarded as one of the most beautiful houses in the elite neighbourhood and it underscores the foremost lawyer’s taste in luxury properties. The last three years have indeed been a mixture of sorts for the 1984 law graduate of the University of Kent, Canterbury, UK. He was bestowed with the prestigious Senior Advocate of Nigeria title in 2016 and was later appointed chairman of Heritage Bank. In the years under review, Ogunsanya has revved up his love for acquiring luxury properties. Recently, he added to his property portfolio, a high-rise apartment building in Bourdillon, Ikoyi, where real estate firm, Sujimoto Construction LTD, had planned to build Lorenzo, a 25-storey building which stands as the tallest residential building model in Lagos. A man that bats no eyelid when it comes to splashing the cash, as Ogunsanya continues to pile up successes, speculations continue to mount about the billionaire as regards whether he would remarry or not. He has indeed become a highly sought widower in Nigeria’s high society as hordes of women are engaged in a frantic jostle to win his love and attention. Most of them are professing their noble intent to offer him ‘emotional support’ and take his mind off the loss of his late wife. So desperate are these women that they now engage in a battle of wits to outsmart one another and find marital refuge in his palatial home.
