The Lagos political community has been thrown into deep mourning following the tragic dæth of Dr. Oluwafemi Olawale Adefulire, the only son of former Lagos State Deputy Governor, Princess Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire.

A family source confirmed the incident to Vanguard, stating the dæth was unexpected and a devastating blow to the family. The decæsed is survived by his wife and children.

Princess Orelope-Adefulire, a prominent figure in Lagos politics, served as Deputy Governor from 2011 to 2015 under former Governor Babatunde Fashola.
She currently serves as the Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS), a role she was reappointed to in September 2023.
