Their Marriage Suffered a Cheating Scandal 

Like many celebrity marriages, Adenuga’s marriage has suffered some cheating scandals. Mike Adenuga has seven children from his two marriages and has been accused of some kind of extramarital affair with his secretary. It was gathered that Mike and his secretary had been in a relationship for 27 years. On quitting the relationship, Nora Olamide Johnson said that her former billionaire boss wants to get back at her for leaving the secret relationship by accusing her of theft and forgery.

The lady worked for the billionaire for 30 years and was accused of stealing $300,000 from him. Following court cases on this issue, on 15th July 2021, the court ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to evict her from her house and recover the stolen money. Mike Adenuga’s former secretary, Nora Olamide Johnson, cried for Mike Adenuga to leave her alone in a video. However, the issue of the secret affair has not been given more voice yet. We are not certain what the outcome of this accusation will be for Adenuga and his wife.
