father, Dapo Abiodun, said he would miss his son revealing that he questioned
God for the kind of tragedy that has befallen him.
According
to him, “We were very close. I remember I would report Olu to my mother and she
would say a tree doesn’t fall from a tree. I saw him for the last time last
week Sunday when we had lunch; Olu was always wanting to please me.
“He
was supposed to go back to Coventry last week for his postgraduate school but
he begged me to allow him to stay for just one week because he wanted to
commission his petrol station and car wash business.
“I
begged him to go to school promising him that I would help do everything while
he was away but he refused. If he had gone back to school, he wouldn’t have
died. I pray that I don’t have to reciprocate this kind of visit to anyone
present here.”
