An insider in the business organization of Lagos society lady, Princess Toyin Kolade, has reacted to viral news reports of her involvement in an alleged $32 million fraud.
Princess Kolade is the ‘Iyalaje of The Source’, a chieftaincy title bestowed on her by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, some weeks back.
Toyin Kolade and her business firm, Fisolak Global Resources Ltd, had been named in the report which also includes one Metal Africa Steel Products Ltd. However, a source close to the socialite said in a response that the report was targeted at “spoiling the good names she has built over the years.”
According to the source, “Princess Kolade is a successful freight forwarder known over the years for clean businesses through which she earns respect from far and near.”
The source, however, admitted that her company was involved in freight forwarding business with Metal Africa Steel Products Ltd some years back “and nothing more.”
“Iyalaje Oodua is the Amazon of the freight forwarding business in Nigeria and over the years, she has made giant strides in the maritime business. She is everything she is today by dint of hard work and grace of God,” the source noted.
