The father of the first baby of
the year in Osun State, Mr Abiodun Okewunmi has reportedly died few hours after
being honoured by the First Lady of the state, Mrs Sherifat Aregbesola on
January 1, 2018.
The wife of the deceased, Mrs
Olanike Okewunmi, delivered her baby around 2:18am on Monday.
Dailypost reports that the First
Lady, contrary to the old way of honouring parents of the first baby, by
presenting gift items through her aides personally visited Osun State General
Hospital, Asubiaro, Osogbo to present the gifts.
The father of the first baby,
Okewunmi had showered encomium on Mrs Aregbesola for her good gesture.
Okewunmi, however, dashed out of
the hospital in joy to get food for his wife and quickly returned to the
hospital.
It was gathered that the father
of the first baby eventually left the hospital around 8pm to have some rest at
home when the unfortunate happened.
Okewunmi met his rather
mysterious death along Gbogan-Osogbo road, at Ogo-oluwa area of the metropolis;
his motorcycle had a head-on collision with another motorcycle riding against
the traffic.
While the other cyclist sustained
minor injury, Okewunmi died on the spot as a result of serious head injury he
sustained.
Okewunmi’s wife, Olanike, in a
phone interview with our reporter expressed emotional depression over the
issue, describing it as the darkest moment of the family’s life.
“We were so happy after receiving
those gifts items from the First Lady, I later started feeling hunger, and my
husband went home to prepare food for me, he came back and played with us for
some minutes.
”He left the hospital around
8:pm, not knowing that it would be the last time I will set my eyes on him. I
learnt that he died of accident few minutes he left us around Ogo-oluwa.
No official statement has been
issued from the office of the First Lady to commiserate with the bereaved
family.
