Sir Dele Ige, the younger
brother of the slain
Minister of Justice and
Attorney General, Chief
Bola Ige, is dead.
The Ibadan-based
businessman reportedly
slumped yesterday; all
efforts to revive him
were unsuccessful.
When Sunday Vanguard
called Muyiwa Ige, the son
of the former minister,
who is the Commissioner
for Lands and Physical
Planning in Osun State, he
confirmed his uncle?s
death but added that he
did not have the details.
Muyiwa Ige said, ?I can
confirm that he is dead.
But that is all that I can
tell you for now. I heard
that he slumped and died
while trying to deliver a
birthday speech. I am on
my way to Ibadan. I can?t
say much until I get to his
residence.??
When he was called about
an hour later, he said,
?But I can say that his
death marked the end of
a lineage of Ige family
because he was the last
man.?
When asked further what
could have killed Sir Ige,
he added, ? I am just
getting to Ibadan now
from Osun State. All I was
told was that he slumped
at my cousin?s birthday,
Akin Ige. He slumped when
he stood up to speak.
That is what I have for
now. I will soon go to his
residence and see things
for myself?.
Akin Ige was said to be
celebrating his 60th birth
anniversary in Ibadan
when the incident
happened.
When he slumped, the
late Ige, was said to
have been rushed to an
undisclosed hospital where
he was confirmed dead.Source : www.havilah.info and www.vanguardngr.com/2012/05/dele-bola-iges-brother-slumps-during-birthday-ceremonydies/
