Former Lagos First Lady In Show Of Shame At Salon (Photos)

There was a wild drama on Friday, June 3, 2016, at a quiet exclusive salon on Muri Okunola Street/Etim Inyan Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, when wife of a former Lagos State Military Administrator, retired Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Godwin Kanu, Gladys, reportedly terrorized those at the salon.


According to a report gathered by Doyen Naija, Gladys held all users of the salon to hostage with the help of an armed police corporal named Isiaka Yakula.

News Of The People reports that the drama first started when the former First Lady insisted to be addressed as Her Excellency and further maintained that all salon workers must not speak or attend to any other customers except her.

It was reported that this was not the first time this woman, whom many claims needs psychiatric attention, has tormented ordinary Nigerians and workers around her.

On the fateful Friday evening, as she attacked a young teenager in the salon and prevented her from getting an appointment, Gladys insisted that the salon worker must not speak or she will get the salon attendant arrested by the police from the Bar Beach Police Station.

It was gathered that the young teenager was shocked at the aggression, called her mother who was immediately insulted by Gladys.

Another client of the salon also called the salon worker and Gladys reportedly attacked and abused her too.


According to an eyewitness, Gladys, who calls herself a UK trained accountant, lost her mind in the salon and started shouting like a market vendor, calling people names and vowing to deal with any client who dare speaks again.

A client who dared to talk was the teenager`s mother who requested for Gladys to respect herself and keep her voice down.

Gladys now realized the woman was a Yoruba woman as she was taking a call and speaking Yoruba. Then Gladys then told the woman to leave the salon because it belongs to an Ibo chief. She also asked the Ibo salon workers not to attend to her but they all ignored her, the eyewitness reports

She then called the DPO at Bar Beach Station and asked him to come and arrest the client. She later insulted clients in the salon, called them unprintable names while speaking to the DPO. She did not realize she was being recorded with a client’s phone.

After five minutes on the phone to the DPO, the client told her she is a Yoruba from Lagos State and cannot be arrested in her state for no crime hence advised Gladys to return to her State rather than terrorizing indigenes in their State.

She then said even Ambode, Tinubu and the Oba of Lagos cannot dare speak to her because she has lived in Lagos for some years and bought a Rolls Royce that they didn’t have. She said Yoruba people are local and all the best buildings and Investments in Lagos belong to Ibos.

She said no Yoruba person can ever face her, she said Lagosians are fools and Lagos is for everybody. She said Yoruba people suffer from inferiority complex.

She then told them that all the police are on her payroll after which she called an armed police corporal Isiaka Yakula to enter into the salon and the reserved area for women only where they do massage with women mostly half naked.

Gladys now brought the poor young police corporal there and many clients now stood up to her and asked the police corporal to leave the salon or they would call the IG


One client had already called Aisha Buhari`s Chief of Staff and called the SGF`s office. Some people called the CP Lagos, others the AIG Zone 2, someone even called the psychiatric hospital in Yaba for assistance as clients realized she had lost it. She screamed like a mad woman, running around with her face like masquerade. The police officer was embarrassed.

Eventually, the manager of the salon played a great role to ensure calm in the salon as some clients left.

We understand one of the clients is a highly APC leader and has sworn to have Gladys removed from Lagos and strip her of her chieftancy title.

The woman dropped bombshell when she said President Buhari is afraid of her husband not to talk of all and any Lagos state governors because none of them has the record her husband has in Lagos and Nigeria at large.

However, a client at the salon, who is a lawyer, recorded few of the libelous statements and intends to sue Gladys for N500m in libel suit.

Gladys’ husband ruled Lagos from 1977 to 1978 under the then military government of Olusegun Obasanjo.
