Tragedy reportedly struck in Lagos Friday night as prominent son of business mogul, Otunba Kunle Ojora, Dapo Ojora, shot himself in the head.
Dapo Ojora
Dapo is the elder brother of wife of former Senate President, Toyin Saraki.
NPO Reports gathered that Dapo’s action might not be unconnected with the complications in his marriage with Patricia, a lawyer and an entrepreneur.
It was gathered that they started having a strained relationship a few years ago and they both decided to go their separate ways for undisclosed reasons.
An online news platform speculated that “his marital woes were a huge blow to him especially because of the love he shared with his wife, Patricia. And much as he tried to put up a brave face, his marriage problems were too hard for him to handle as he couldn’t bear to lose his loving wife.”
But the couple reunited last year to host the high and mighty at the wedding of their daughter, Tara, in their family house in Ikoyi, Lagos.
He was a polo player.
NPO Reports further learned that family sources said it was a case of accidental discharge due to poor handling of a firearm by the deceased.
The police is yet to issue any statement.
He had allegedly escaped death sometime ago when he had a ghastly power bike accident.
The former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has taken to Twitter to mourn Dapo’s death.
Fani-Kayode wrote, “Devastated to hear about the passing of my brother Dapo Ojora just nine years after we lost Gbegi his older brother. I knew Daps for 50 years & we played polo together. He was one of the kindest souls that I ever had the honour of being close to. He was a trailblazer! RIP brother.”
