The bitter war between billionaire businessman, Tunde Ayeni and Gail Fajembola has taken a fresh dimension as the Nigeria Police Force has filed a six-count criminal charge against Tunde Ayeni’s ex-mistress, Gail Fajembola and her company, GIF Energy Resources Ltd, before the Federal High Court in Lagos.
The case, marked FHC/L/973C/2025 — Inspector General of Police v. Gail Fajembola & GIF Energy Resources Ltd, follows a petition by business executive, Tunde Ayeni, over a property-related dispute. According to court filings, the charges involve alleged forgery, false representation and fraudulent conversion related to a property in Banana Island, Lagos, said to be at the centre of a tenancy dispute between both parties.
In a statement, Ayeni confirmed that he petitioned the authorities after discovering what he described as a case of misrepresentation and unauthorised transactions involving one of his companies.
He added that following his petition, the police invited Gail for questioning and their findings led to the filing of criminal charges before the Federal High Court.
Gail had filed a separate suit against Ayeni and others over alleged harassment and threats concerning a luxury apartment at Ocean Parade Towers, Banana Island. In that suit, Gail asked the court to restrain the police from interfering in what she described as a civil dispute, insisting that she never claimed ownership of the property. She also alleged that police actions were being used to intimidate her following the breakdown of her relationship with Ayeni.
The property, Flat K9-2 at Ocean Parade Towers, has been the subject of multiple legal filings since June, including petitions from Olutoyl Estate Development & Services Ltd, which accused Gail of unlawfully leasing out the apartment without consent.
Gail and Tunde were an item in the past. She once ran one of the most expensive and expansive interior decoration home, Cynosure Interior in Lagos.
