We’re told Dotun Omotoye, a veteran of the night club business has taken over La Cachette, and his major partner is Idibia. Omotoye and Idibia are close friends.
‘Dotun might just be a front for 2face who actually bought over the club some time ago and is renovating the building to re-launch it under another name’, a source told NET.
However, according to a Now Muzik rep, the news is ‘as bogus as silicone implants’. ‘2face has not acquired La Cachette, and has no investments there too’, Now Muzik COO Don T told our reporter over the phone.
‘I’m not surprised they’re denying, because it actually pays them to keep it under wraps’, our source says. ‘Dotun is already having problems dealing with the rumours about 2face acquiring the club. ‘Everybody wants to overbill him and even the State’s agencies are not helping matters as they have raised the cost for the land revenue amongst other things’.
We’re told the on-going situation has inspired Omotoye to name the club ‘Rumours’ as he tries to suppress the ‘rumours’. ‘I’m just tired of what’s going on. People keep saying 2face owns the place‘, Dotun Omotoye, who’s married to singer Kween, tells NET.
Meanwhile, Omotoye has more immediate problems to fix, as the premises of the club remain sealed off by the state government. ‘I’m trying to get all this sorted out. Hopefully I will‘, Dotun told our reporter last week, just outside the club’s premises.
NET also gathered that residents of the area, uncomfortable with the club’s activities, are allegedly behind the sealing off of the club. It is not the first time La Cachette is being shut by the state government.
‘The residents in the neighbourhood don’t want the place opened again for obvious reasons‘, a source who works close by told our reporter.
