Arisekola's Wife Killed In Auto Crash

Barely a week after the death of the Aare Musulumi of Yoruba Land, Alhaji Arisekola Alao, one of his wives, Jellilat, popularly called Iya Abullahi, is dead.

Sources told P.M.NEWS that she died Tuesday in auto crash.

Details of the incident were sketchy at the time of filling this report but it was gathered that the woman will be buried later Wednesday 2 July.

P.M.NEWS, however, gathered that the woman separated from Arisekola over 20 years ago.

According to a family source who confirmed her death, “it is a sad development. Yes, the woman died. I have just been told but do not have the full details.

“Let me put the record straight. The woman we are talking about, I don't know whether she was baba's wife or not. Yes, she had a child for baba but they had been separated for over 20 years.

“She was selling clothes in one of the markets in Lagos. So with her status in Arisekola's house, I don't know whether to refer to her as Arisekola's wife. Again, it is not every woman that bears children for somebody that is that person's wife. I don't want to say more than that,” the source who refused to be named said.
