The report said she died some hours ago.

Mrs. Awolowo, wife of the late premier of the defunct Western Region, passed on more than four years after rumours spread like wildfire around the country indicating she transited. That was on June 22, 2012.



The Chairperson of the African Newspapers of Nigeria, died 28 years after her husband, Obafemi Awolowo, who fondly described her as his jewel of inestimable value, passed on.

Mr. Awolowo, a widely respected politician and Yoruba leader, died in 1987.

More to come…
