According to reports by gossip blogger, Stella Dimoko-Korkus, the husband of Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe, Lanre Gentry, had a rough time with one of his business partners who gave him the beating of his life at his Ikeja based hotel, in what is seen as business gone sour.
According to insiders, the guy who pummeled Gentry to a pulp is a Special Assistant to Osun State Governor Segun Mimiko, named Bashorun Akinloye Akinboni.
Those who peddled the story say that the cause of the fight had to do with Gentry’s attempt to play a fast one on the guy who had paid for a house owned by the actress’ husband, only for him to turn around and rent the same place to Yoruba gospel artiste, Atorise.
When Bashorun Akinboni went to the hotel to enquire about the arrangement, he coincidentally met Atorise there and an argument ensued. Bashorun Akinboni lost his temper and pounced on Larry Gentry, allegedly beating him to a Pulp.
When the beating got too much and blood was gushing from all his body, Atorise took to his heels, leaving the venue in one piece.
At the end of the day, Gentry ended up with lots bruises and was taken to a hospital where he had bandages would all over him.
Another insider also confirmed the development, saying Lanre Gentry got exactly what he deserved as he is in the habit of duping people who do business with him.
This is what he said:
“Lanre is in the habit of duping people and had no right to take his money and give someone else the house. He has been doing this to several people and needs to be stopped.”
