Tunde Thomas (alias Tunde Gentle), 45, died about two weeks
ago from heartbreak. The two kids from his marriage were
discovered to have been fathered by the current managing
director of the First City Merchant Bank (FCMB), Mr. Adam Nuru,
who was his wife’s boss.
Tunde’s wife, Moyo Thomas (Nee Ojo), was reportedly engaged
in an office romance with her MD, a relationship that was well
known to all in the bank.
Happily married Billionaire Nuhu, while he got carried away in
fornicating with Moyo, spared no thought for Tunde who was
bringing up the two children he thought belonged to him.
Those in the know say Tunde was so in love with and attached
to his wife and children that he spent most of his resources on
them. He took them to London and Dubai on holidays. He also
spared no penny in putting the kids in the best schools.
At the height of the shameful relationship and when the older
child was about eight (8) years old, Moyo suddenly resigned
from FCMB and travelled to the US with the two children,
ostensibly on holiday. It was when the school session started in
Nigeria and the children were not returned that Tunde started
asking questions and the lady finally summoned the courage to
tell him the children were not his.
She then went to the extent of filing for asylum in the US on the
ground of marital violence in Nigeria, against Tunde, a man
known to all men by his gentle and easygoing disposition. Her
aim, we learnt, was to get the Green Card and also get Tunde
barred from entering the US, so she would not be able to look
him in the eye and tell him the bitter truth.
Not long after receiving the sad news first in 2017, Tunde
reportedly suffered stroke. He recovered from the stroke but
said to have become a shadow of his former self, as he would
often cry without reason.
As he got over the illness, Tunde died on the 15th of December, 2020 of “heart failure”.
