While the roads were clear and the flowers were in full bloom, Angela Omokore rode the crest of fame and milked it for all it was worth. She travelled in private jets and wore expensive jewellery. Now the road is strewn with legal hurdles she must jump over. The snow is falling and Angela is left with no choice but to recoil into the warmth of her anonymous cocoon.
Ever since the EFCC beamed its searchlight on alleged shady deals between her husband, Jide Omokore, and former petroleum minister, Diezani Allison-Maduekwe, Angela, has sought refuge in the cloak of anonymity.
The former Zenith and Access Bank top shot was even at one time considered a likely candidate for the CEO of Access Bank. Those heady days now feel like fuzzy dreams for Angela, who is rumoured to have jetted out to a European country for obvious reasons.
