Daily Times Boss, Fidelis Anosike 'Hijacks' Miss Nigeria Pageant From Organiser, Elizabeth Aisien 2 Weeks To Event.

There is a quiet but snowballing quarrel. And it is all about just concluded pageant, Miss Nigeria.

Sources confirm organiser contracted to manage the affair, Elizabeth Aisien of Beth Models is angry with her 'employers'.

Her grouse is that she was 'swindled' by event owners led by controversial man about town, Fidelis Anosike.

Insiders alleged after utilising her contacts and pulling her influence into play to get sponsors and commitment from creditable A-listers to attend, the event was literarily 'hijacked' by Mr Anosike and his crew.

And in the process, agreed terms with some of the sponsors were breached and guests expected to uplift the occasion with their presence maltreated at the gate.

Giving an insight into the development, an insider explained ' about two weeks to the event, Mr Anosike and his crew requested a meet with Mrs Aisien to have a proper grasp of what she has done so far to make the event a success...and she laid out everything for them, including confirmed and expected sponsors. But unknown to her, there was an ulterior motive'

An insider revealed, her employers used the information to plot a take over that resulted in direct talks with the sponsors, emergence of another invite and put in place of security arrangement that did not honour the invite she printed and her guests maltreated!.

Witnesses confirmed to that the likes of Eyo Effiong,Kelechi Amadi Obi, Leo Stan-Ekeh, Willie and Nkiru Anumudu bearing black colored invites issued by the Beth Models boss were bounced!. They later secured entry when the organiser personally came to speak with the head of security operating under the tag Chief Security Officer (C.S.O).
Mrs Aisien was heard lamenting to the other personnels that 'who is this C.S.O?...I don't know any C.S.O, I organised this event, this can't be happening to my guests...where is he!'

This was after the gate keepers kept some A-listers out and she was receiving calls of complains on her phone.

The C.S.O and his crew were part of the arrangements used to take over the event from her. Bearers of the green in white envelope invites issued by Mr Anosike and his team enjoyed free passage.

More digs revealed Elizabeth Aisien had more to contend with inside. She reportedly signed a sponsorship with drink people, Martini -on behalf of the pageant, as the sole provider of their kind of service for the night. This proved untrue, arrangements were made behind her back to serve other brands. And the Martini crew protested of breach of contract and betrayal of trust. She was helpless to correct the situation.

Further finds revealed, even accommodation and venue provider- Intercontinental had issues of their own to iron out with her.
It was revealed that the tainting of her relationship with her 'publics' and loss of expected revenue in some quarters is the bedrock of the quiet fight with the Mr Anosike and his crew of pageant owners.

Sources confirmed the battle is being kept quiet based on the intricate linkage of the combatants. The aggrieved's hubby,Owen Aisien has business relationship with Mr Anosike. And Beth Model has prospects of involvements in some of the companies the Daily Times boss has interests in.

Sources insists whether these factors will aide quick resolution of simmering dispute is unsure at press time.
