Former Managing Editor of Thisday Newspapers, Oni-Olushola Gbenga, last weekend buried his wife, Mrs. Juliana Oni-Gbenga, who pasted away recently in Benin.
Oni-Gbenga was once an ex- editor at the Daily Times Nigeria Plc., too; he was also a Dodan Barracks correspondent for Daily Times in the days of IBB as military president before he rose to become the editor of the influncential Sunday Times.
He left the Daily Times to join Leaders & Company publishers of the ThisDay titles.
A jovial personality, the death of his wife popularly known as ‘Mama Yard’ came to his friends and well wishes as a rude shock.
Below are faces of the burial held in Benin, Edo State.
