AKINRUNTAN (OBAT OIL) DYNASTY IN TATTERS: FAMILY IN CHAOS PART ONE
By Adebayo Somuyiwa/London
Despite their father being an oil magnate, Obat’s children have led a very wayward, immoral and ruthless lifestyle in the United Kingdom. Identity theft, Fraud and Adultery are just some of their hallmarks. It is a far cry from their so called wealthy and well-cultured background.
For example, Mobola Akinruntan had been apprehended twice for shoplifting in London. According to Police report made available to African Interest, Mobola was arrested for shoplifting at ASDA in Dagenham, Essex in 2003 and once held at the Romford Police Station in the United Kingdom in 6th September 2004 for shop lifting in Marks and Spencer. Mobola has also being a party to a number of fraudulent activities that included the use of pseudonyms names and fake documents to obtain credit from different companies and theft (which she has a criminal record for). Mobola though attended the Olabisi Onabanjo University, dropped out of school.
Like her younger sister, Mr. Akinruntan’s first child, Olufunmilayo Akinruntan’s is married to two different men for the sake of leave to remain in the United Kingdom. She is known for arranging sham marriages for Nigerians looking to live in the United Kingdom. Both daughters live in their father’s house in West London and are notorious party goers. They do not work and rely on the United Kingdom’s benefit system.
African Interest investigation revealed that the genesis of Mobola Akinruntan’s marital problems started from her family’s insistence on her husband to adopt the child of one of her brothers. The intention was for the child to obtain British Citizenship.
According to a source close to the Akinruntan’s family, the depressing and somewhat chilling aspect of this saga is their father’s apparent support of their wayward lifestyle. He recently ordered his daughter, Mobola Akinruntan, to abduct his grandchildren from London and to leave her marital home when he heard that his son-in-law had refused to adopt one of his grandchildren for immigration purposes. Efforts to speak with his son-law Ayodeji Fonawopo proved abortive.

African Interest’s attempt to get Mr. Akinruntan’s side of the story was unsuccessful and we shall try to get Mr. Akinruntan.





Pathetic!! These are not cultured people. These are guttersnipes that stole money and have the guts to act as though they are superior to the rest of us. Shame on this family!!
