She died in her sleep in the evening of the fateful day.

“She arrived Ogbomoso on the Christmas day without any apparent illness. Friday morning we played together in front of the house, later she went to take a nap. When we thought she should have woken up, she was gone when we called on her. We believe it was God that called her home at her appointed time,” Alaaje further told ogbomosoinsightonline.com.

The deceased who hailed from Aare Ago compound, Ogbomoso, worked as a government teacher in secondary schools in Lagos state before retiring voluntarily to manage a private school, Perfection Gate School, Lagos, founded by her husband, a retired Director of the State Security Service (SSS).

She managed the school successfully, Alaaje said, noting, “Of all private businesses l set up after retirement, only the school thrived. She was my pillar of strength and support. She will be sorely missed.”
