Bukka Hut founder Rasheed Jaiyeola speaks on death of partner, Laolu MartinsPublished

Founder/CEO of Bukka Hut, Rasheed Jaiyeola, has explained his business relationship with late partner, Laolu Martins.
Martins died on Tuesday in Lekki; the death is being questioned by a cross-section of Lagosians.

In a statement, Jaiyeola said the board, management and staff were mourning the “key stakeholder and a minority shareholder”.

The founder regretted that some persons were capitalising on the incident to maliciously misrepresent the facts.

Jaiyeola said he built the restaurant in August 2011 and jointly owns majority shares of the company with his wife and sister.

“Bukka Hut is not a one man business as there are two other shareholders/directors but they are not involved in the daily management.”
