Veteran Broadcaster, ‘Fabio’ Lanipekun, Dies 4 Days After 80th Birthday
A Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) official close to the family confirmed the passing on of the highly-respected journalist.
His death is coming just a week after another iconic sports journalist, Sunny Emmanuel Ojagbaese, died in the United States (U.S.).
Ogun State gubernatorial aspirant, Modele Sharafa-Yusuf, who worked closely with the deceased at Nigeria Television Authority, on her Facebook page joined several others to extol the virtues and pray for repose of the veteran journalist soul.
“A cerebral, hard-working & no nonsense boss, Fabio encouraged my move from NTA Ibadan to the Headquarters (then in Lagos). He burnished my skills, taught me discipline & handwork and gave us opportunities to shine- knowing as he did, that our light did not dim his own.
“I was with him on his 79th birthday-along with some of my former colleagues but missed his 80th as I was declaring my candidature on the same day.
“May God grant him sweet repose and bless his devoted wife & other family members.”
Fabio was a founding member of Sports Writers Association of Nigeria in the 60s.
