Wole Soyinka Loses 48-year-old Daughter

A daughter of Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka, Iyetade, is dead.
A statement signed on behalf of the family by a former Editor of the Guardian on Sunday, Mr. Jahman Anikulapo and a close aide to Soyinka, stated that Iyetade, a mother of two, died while receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
Born on June 6, 1965, the deceased, according to Anikulapo, attended Staff School and Queens School, Ibadan before reading Medicine at the University of Ibadan.
He described Iyetade as an “affable, intelligent and sometimes capricious,” lady who “struggled with her health in recent years.
“In spite of this, she greeted every day with a smile and doted on her two children. She took ill quite suddenly and passed away while being treated at UCH, Ibadan. Iyetade leaves behind two children, both parents, numerous siblings, nieces and nephews,” the statement added.
The statement did not, however, disclose burial plans for the deceased.
