Reports claimed that Osholake died from Uterine Cancer (Endometrial Cancer) in the United Kingdom on Saturday.
She was reportedly receiving treatment at the Harley Street Clinic, London, after she was diagnosed of cancer in October.
Remi, who was known for her elegant signature kaftans, played a significant role in Nigerian fashion industry for over two decades.
Her friend, Adebayo Jones, who is also a designer, confirmed Osholake’s death on his facebook page.
Jones wrote, “Sadly my dear friend who has been in hospital treatment for cancer, whom most of you have prayed for and sent goodwill messages passed away moments ago.
“I am still in shock. I just don’t get it how someone can be diagnosed and be gone within two weeks.
“I saw her on Thursday and she was in a very delicate state which greatly distressed me the whole night and Friday. I really did wish there was something I could have done.
“This morning just about 12 noon, I was praying for another friend going through an operation as I write, and I spent the rest of the time praying for my dear friend Remi and pleading God’s mercy. Got the message just after I finished praying.”
Osholake was 51 years old.

Cancer is a deadly decease which u will never pray for your enemy to have, if u had an experience or a cancer patient u will know that cancer is a killer decease indeed because, it reminds me about my sister who is undergoing breast cancer treatment and it has not really been easy, is the money for the treatment you want to talk about or the pain the poor woman is going through especially the so called Chemo therapy but, it is my prayer for God to bring permanent solution to it.
ReplyDeleteIt is well with the family of Remi,may her soul rest in peace, i can imagine what the family might have gone through as a result of that sickness, well God knows best because he said we should give thanks in all situations.
