The Very New Quiet Lifestyle of Scott Tommey

Scott Tommey, the founder and CEO of Osmoserve Global Limited, was once a prominent figure in Abuja's social scene. He chartered flights for his 40th birthday celebrations and was known for his lavish lifestyle. However, in recent years, he has become much harder to find. There was no scandal that forced this change, at least nothing confirmed.

Osmoserve, which serves multinational oil companies and government agencies across the Niger Delta, continues to operate, but with less attention on it. The reason for this retreat is partly personal. Tommey and his wife Seiyefa had triplets recently, and friends say that fatherhood has pulled his attention away from the party circuit.

Another factor is the scrutiny he has faced. In June 2022, the EFCC arrested and questioned him over alleged misappropriation of NDDC intervention funds. This kind of attention has certainly changed how a businessman appears in public. Tommey's relationship with political figures has also played a role. He has distanced himself from Senate President Godswill Akpabio, a former close ally, and turned down campaign advisory roles to maintain a strictly commercial reputation.

Tommey has always been known to retreat at times of political scrutiny, often resurfacing around milestones like birthdays or family events. Currently, Osmoserve continues to run, and Tommey meets associates privately in Abuja instead of at the social events he once graced. It remains to be seen whether this quiet phase will last or if he will return to the spotlight in the future.
