A throwback to archaic times in their history.
They are still holding on to it and that reflects on their note.

In the first place, that a robbery and rape occurred in the UK is baffling to me. She must’ve lived in a rough neighbourhood. Her committing suicide afterward is more surprising. Everybody has their beliefs. Fear of the unknown sent her to the grave.
If my memory serves me right, the robbery occured in Nigeria. She later traveled to the UK

the whole story is mumbo jumbo quack journalism.
The robbery and rape took place in her house in Abuja. She got depressed and went to London. And still depressed in UK and committed suicide there

The pair of Tokunbo and Eugenia Abu was delightful to watch then on NTA News at 9pm with their sound diction and accent in a professional dimension.The NTA family never revealed the main cause of her death then.
u forgot Sienne Razak Lawal. And Ruth Benemisia Opia

Tokunbo ajayi I can never forget her. I'm over 40. I just finished secondary school when she died after or around the time Bill Clinton and Chelsea came to Nigeria and met the then president Obasanjo.

As a children in early primary school, I watch her cast news, and ajayi was spelt as ajayi until late 90s when the y was always been omitted. Before then, it was always spelt as ajayi.
Her brother died in 97 or 98 and she was the one that announced it on tv.
When she died her transferred my love Eugenia Abu, then Funmi Coker who later became wakama just because of the cross pendants that was iconic with Tokunbo. She never married. Her death shook. Always remember it like yesterday as she made me love mass communication/ journalism

I am not sure the police handled the case professionally. They ought to have left out the rape report from the public. Then, they said it was the trauma that made her travel to London. Later on, we heard rumors that the robbers got her infected. Nobody knows how true all that was then. What we know was that she died in a London flat. I remember her AJAYI was spelt AJAI. Then, as a female newscaster on Nta network, you'd be considered a diva.

Her name was constantly spelt AJAI and she cast more on Newscap than on 9 pm.

May her soul rest well. There are too many troubles in the world, even in London!
No. They were typing as ajayi until 97 thereabout when the y was been removed till her death. I'm over 40. And I always watch her cast news so I know what I'm saying NTA ibadan

Her ajayi was spelt AJAYI since my primary school until my secondary when the y was omitted till she died. She died when I left secondary school

You are very very n extremely naive. So you think the UK she lived in during her time is the same UK u are in, right now. As little afar back as 1977, London was the most dirtiest city in the world. Rough neighborhood ko, smooth criminal ni.

Some of you Nigerians need to actually travel out of the country.
Na ignorance wan Kee una, that's why you keep running down Nigeria.
There is crime even in Swiserland. You think the prisons are for housing animals?
Come out of your cave

Did the incident happen in Nigeria before she moved to the uk or in the uk?
The reportage is bad, ambiguous statements with lopsided facts presentation. My dear, the robbery happened in Nigeria, she later travelled to the UK and died there.

"In God we Trust" proudly an inscription on the American Dollar. "God bless America" an American every minute prayer.
Mecca had a city dedicated to prayer while dubai has a beautiful mosque and the locals prayer there every day and see their country....
The felloʻw who says prayer doesn't work is just an over confident kid vastly inexperienced

You are shocked that Tokunbo Ajai is deceased and has been so for 25 years? Your shock is shocking
My shock that shocked you is still shocking me now. She was too popular as a news caster then for anyone not to have known until 25 years after she kicked the bucket.

She couldn't withstand the rape trauma.
But suicide wasn't the solution.
I remembered the way she reads news @ 9pm .
