It was mixed feelings for billionaire businesswoman, Bola Shagaya, as her mother’s untimely demise on Sunday, October 9, eclipsed her birthday the following day.
As she clocked 63 on Monday, October 10, Shagaya’s heart was heavy with grief over the loss of her mother, Alhaja Saadat AbdulRaheem Bakini the previous day.
Though Alhaja Bakini passed away at over 90 years old, Shagaya was evidently devastated due to the emotional bond that they shared with each other.
The duo deeply attached to each other, a situation fostered by Shagaya’s position as the deceased’s only daughter. The late Alhaja Bakini had two children, Shagaya, and her brother, Abdulrasaq Abdulraheem. Their family was close-knit and they dote on each other affectionately.
Already, dignitaries, including Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq, have been paying condolence visits to Shagaya’s palatial home. Many of the socialite’s high net-worth friends have reportedly declared their intention to assist her in giving her mother a befitting burial.
