ELDER BROTHER OF LATE MC ADENIKE ODUKOYA RECOUNTS FAMILY’S CONCERNS AND SHOCK OVER COUPLE’S DEATHS
The elder brother of the late Adenike has expressed profound grief and shock following the tragic deaths of his younger sister and her husband, Olusho Abidemi, on August 31, 2026.
According to him, Adenike had previously raised concerns with members of the family regarding difficulties in her marriage. He explained that although the family was aware of some of these challenges, they remained hopeful that the situation would improve.
“My younger sister had always complained about Olusho Abidemi, but we believed things would eventually change. I was personally the chairman of the occasion at their wedding,” he recalled.
He described Abidemi as someone who had initially been responsible and maintained a relationship with the family, but said his behaviour subsequently changed.
According to the bereaved brother, Abidemi had not communicated with members of Adenike’s family, including their elderly mother, for more than a year. He attributed the breakdown in communication to the family’s disapproval of what they considered troubling behaviour and their concerns about how Adenike was allegedly being treated in the marriage.
The family’s concerns, he said, turned into devastation when they received news on the morning of August 31, 2026, that Adenike had died.
He stated that family members immediately proceeded to the couple’s residence following the disturbing news. At that stage, despite their grief and the circumstances surrounding Adenike’s death, he said the family was prepared to seek answers and ultimately consider forgiveness.
However, the situation became even more distressing when they subsequently learned that Abidemi had also died.
“I honestly do not know what happened to him or what could have led to such a tragic situation,” the elder brother said.
He further expressed serious concern about how the devastating news would be communicated to their elderly mother, fearing the emotional impact of learning that her daughter had died.
The account reflects the anguish of a family confronted with the sudden loss of two lives under deeply distressing circumstances.
What would the family done to help protect their sister and prevent such ugly incident?
