- How she lost her first husband
News of her first husband’s death fills the night and every daybreak, like an unwelcome song of doom. It stabs at Uzamat Akinbile -Yusuf in the heart, reminding her of grief she would rather undo.
The Lagos state Commissioner for Youth and Social Welfare, is bereaved. She lost her first husband Akinbile to the cold hands of death on Friday, March 24, 2017. The latter died after a protracted battle with kidney related ailment.
He died in a hospital in Akure, Ondo State and was brought back to Lagos on Saturday, March 25, 2017 for burial. He was buried on Saturday at Ipaja burial ground.
Though she was divorced from him, she was said to have played a major role in his treatment in the last two years.
Akinbile was an accountant with West African Examination Council from where he retired. He is the father of all the four boys (two of whom are in Canada studying) of the commissioner. We gathered that the commissioner was not around to attend the burial. She is said to be abroad on official assignment.
