This report comes as a most dreadful shock. …But thank you Prof Falola for letting us know without delay, and for all your immense personal efforts. …It seemed with all the skilled and determined actions by medical specialists attending, that Ayo’s recovery was assured. …However, when the Creator summons, we have no choice. And so Ayo has departed. …Yet through all the grief and distress, how fortunate we are. He has given us much. It is the inheritance he leaves us. And a rich one it is. He will be well-remembered. May his soul have rest and enduring peace. …With profound condolences to Prof Olukotun’s wife, family and close friends. …Until we meet again, dear friend. …Love, Baba m

What a bad beginning of the new year for us!! The cruel hands of death seizing a junior and leaving the seniors in sorrow.
