We have received news that Wole Soyinka has lost one of his daughters.
Iyetade Soyinka, daughter of the Nobel Laureate, is said to have passed on after a short illness. She apparently died at the University of Ibadan Teaching Hospital at the age of 48. In a statement given by Jahman Anikulapo, aide to Prof. Soyinka, the late mother of two was undergoing treatment at the hospital for an undisclosed illness before she died.
The statement described her as affable, intelligent and sometimes capricious. In spite of her health travails, she was all smiles and doted on her children – both of them - even until her last day.
Funeral arrangements have not been announced yet.
May her soul rest in peace. Our thoughts are with the Professor at this time…
