It is with deep sadness that Femi Fani-Kayode, a prominent Nigerian politician and former Minister of Aviation, announces the untimely passing of his personal assistant, who served him faithfully for over 34 years.
On October 13, 2024, the deceased attended morning mass before proceeding to a hotel with an individual whose identity is yet to be disclosed. Tragically, he collapsed and passed away in the hotel.
Femi Fani-Kayode expressed his grief and concern, stating, “The individual he was with at the time of his death in the hotel is now in police custody, and I have insisted on a full criminal investigation of the matter and an autopsy.”
In a related development, the hotel receptionist has also been detained by the police for questioning. Furthermore, both the manager and the owner of the hotel have been invited for questioning earlier this week as part of the ongoing investigation.
Fani-Kayode has communicated the heartbreaking news to the deceased’s wife and uncle, emphasizing his belief in the competence of the FCT police to uncover the truth surrounding this tragic incident. “I believe the FCT police will get to the bottom of this matter, and then we can proceed with his burial,” he added.
The family and friends of the deceased request privacy during this difficult time and appreciate the support from the community.
