Property Magnate, Olu Okeowo, Banned By Lagos Polo Club Over Assault

AISHA ABUBAKAR

Real estate magnate, Sir Olu Okeowo has been banned from entry into the Lagos Polo Club premises, either as a guest or otherwise until further notice over an assault on the member of staff of the elite club.

In a statement Wednesday signed by Mr. Adeyemi Oreagba, the Honourable Secretary of the premier African polo club, the billionaire socialite was axed after a security personnel attached to him violently assaulted one of the staff while performing his duty last Saturday during the Reminisce Event held at the club premises in Ikoyi, Lagos.

According to the Club scribe, this action of the security personnel of the Chairman of Gibraltar Group negates one of the club’s main ground rules and thus ban Okeowo from entry into the club premises, either as a guest or otherwise until further notice.

The full memo:
