Ademola, who was mourning her sister’s death, had in an interview with The PUNCH on Friday, 8 January, 2021 described her elder sister as her best friend, a caring sister and a mother with a rare heart of love.

She had said, “The death of my elder sister, Mrs Folake Aremu, is very painful because of what she stood for in our lives as family members. She was very friendly and caring; she never left her siblings untended. We are pained because she stood in as a good mother for all of us.

“As the last child of the family, she took very good care of me. We were very close and used to each other. She gave her best to ensure that I was well catered for. She was a selfless fellow. She was very humane and she persevered a lot. She would not underrate anyone.”
