Noble Laureate and Professor Wole Soyinka has reportedly lost his daughter Iyetade Apampa who died while receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State capital......
A statement confirming the sad news was released on Sunday, December 29, 2013 by Soyinka’s close aide Jahman Anikulapo (former Editor of the Guardian) on behalf of the family.
Anikulapo described Iyetade as an ‘affable, intelligent and sometimes capricious’ lady who ‘struggled with her health in recent years’.
‘In spite of this, she greeted every day with a smile and doted on her two children. She took ill quite suddenly and passed away while being treated at UCH, Ibadan. Iyetade leaves behind two children, both parents, numerous siblings, nieces and nephews’, the statement read.
