A popular Gambian socialite, Aisha Fatty's former fiancé, Senegalese-Gambian business tycoon, Abdoulaye Thiam has dragged her to court to refund all the money and gifts he gave her during their engagement.

Born to Gambian and Egyptian parents, Aisha, a former State House protocol officer, was once married to footballer, Tijan Jaiteh but the marriage was short-lived.

Sometime later, according to the suit, Abdoulaye and Aisha began a relationship and he proposed to marry her and soon began preparations for their marriage.

A further US$ 50,000.00 was given to Aisha Fatty to buy African clothes from Nigeria, according to the statement of claim.

However despite all the preparations and expenses made by Abdoulaye in anticipation of his marriage to Aisha, she refused to go ahead with the marriage which was scheduled for December 2021.

The plaintiff, Aboulaye, also alleged in the suit that a sum of Euro150,000.00 was given to Aisha Fatty for the construction of a three -storey building complex in the Gambia, while another sum of D19,500,000.00 was also given to her for the purpose of purchasing a villa at Fajara Waterfront.

Abdoulaye is also claiming the sum of CFA 822,000,000.00 which he alleged was expended in the purchase of gold given to Aisha for business.
