Family States Real Cause Of Adedibu’s Daughter’s Death

Contrary to insinuations elsewhere, the family of the late Chief Lamidu Adedibu has stated the true cause of the death of a daughter of the late Ibadan strongman.

Professor Aderemi Adedibu, a child of Chief Lamidi Adedibu, mentioned cancer as the course of the death of the woman and not corona virus.

His clarification became necessary given rife rumours on social media that associated the death of the woman with corona virus.

Speaking to the Tribune via telephone Professor Adedibu, said it was not true that Adijat died of coronavirus, adding that she had been battling cancer for a while which got worsened recently, leading to her death.

Informing that the deceased would be buried on Saturday, he however expressed unhappiness with the way the issue had been wrongly portrayed saying he would seek to get to the roots.

He said the late Adijat was 71, adding that she suffered from cancer for more than six months before her eventual death on Thursday.

“My sister died from cancer at a US hospital on Thursday and not coronavirus pandemic as being insinuated. She was aged 71 and she suffered from cancer for more than six months before she was admitted into a hospital last month.

“She died in the hospital yesterday (Thursday). I will not be able to provide you the information on her US address and the name of the hospital now.

“I will provide those two information with death certificate after her burial. Please note America does not bury without death certificate and she will be buried tomorrow by God’s grace,” he wrote in a whatsApp message.
