She suffered a horror of sunsets at her prime; consequently, Solveigh Ojora is torn by grief too early in her life. In one year, the half-Norwegian, half-Nigerian lost two of the three most important men in her life. First was her father, Ahmed Onipede, a former Special Adviser on Mineral Resources to ex-Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, between 2001 and 2007. Onipede was found dead in his Badagry, Lagos residence. Onipede allegedly suffered a gruesome murder and the police are yet to apprehend his killers.
There is no gainsaying Solveigh was broken and devastated by her father’s death, but just when she was responding to the comfort and kind words offered to douse her pain by her husband, Gbegi Ojora, the latter died due to liver complications. The death of Solveigh’s husband who was also the first son of millionaire mogul, Otunba Adekunle and his wife, Erelu Ojuolape Ojora, in 2011, shook the social firmament as he was one of the most popular socialites at the time. He left behind Solveigh and Tolu, their only child. Of course, Solveigh has been inconsolable since his death and has kept a wide berth from the social scene. The Capital findings revealed that she has travelled abroad to be with her only son who schools outside the country.
