kola Aluko's $51m Manhattan Apartment Hits The Market For JUST $39m

Here's how Dailymail reports it. Dem no send.... A luxurious Manhattan apartment previously owned by an on-the-run Nigerian billionaire is up for sale for $11million less than he bought it for.

Disgraced Nigerian energy businessman Kolawole 'Kola' Aluko, 48, bought Apartment 79 in the One57 building in 2014 for $51.9million.

And now as he tries to evade authorities - the penthouse apartment is now up for sale for just $39.9million.

The seller is apparently anxious to get rid of the property - as it is listed by a 'MOTIVATED SELLER!!!'


The property was supposed to be sold at a foreclosure auction in July.

However, that sale fell through for an unknown reason and it has now been put back on the market by a 'motivated seller'.

The 6,240 square foot apartment is described as a four bed, four-and-a-half bathroom penthouse with stunning views of Central Park, the Hudson and East rivers, the Empire State building and the Statue of Liberty.

It is described as a 'once in a lifetime investment opportunity' as it's the 'last remaining full floor residence at Manhattan's New Crown Jewel, One 57 Condominium.
