A few years ago when socialite, Eyimofe Atake, took leave of the social scene, not a few persons thought it was a brief hiatus. More than three years after, the 55-year-old lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria is yet to make a return alongside his very pretty wife, Dorothy, who has also been missing in action.
Before now, the couplewere regulars at functions worth their salt. Not only were they celebrated for their endearing charisma, Eyimofe’s dress sense was considered second to none and most times, he outclassed his hosts. He earned a reputation of always raising the style stakes.
While no reasons were tendered for his long absence from the social milieu, we had the good fortune of running into him on a recent flight from Asaba to Lagos. As expected, he exhibited a high knowledge of modern trends as he was garbed in the very latest attire that stood him out.
