Iyetade, one of the daughters of Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, is dead.
The 48-year-old daughter of the activist-dramatist died at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Oyo State on Sunday. She was admitted at the hospital for an undisclosed illness.
Born on June 6, 1965, Iyetade was described, in a statement by Soyinka’s aide, Mr. Jahman Anikulapo, as ‘affable, intelligent and sometimes capricious’
Anikulapo said Ifetade, a student at the Staff School and Queens School, Ibadan before she studied Medicine at the University of Ibadan “struggled with her health in recent years. Despite her health woes, 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.”
Left to mourn her are the parents, two children, siblings, nieces and nephews.”
