The father of Lola Omotayo-Okoye, wife of popular music star, Peter Okoye, is dead.
Peter, one half of the now defunct music duo, Psquare, took to his twitter page on Wednesday night to announce the the death of his father-in-law.
“My dear father-in-law. Chief Oladipo Adewale Omotayo aka “Papa” We will surely miss you! Your beloved Daughter Lola Okoye and your grandchildren Cameron & Aliona Okoye misses you desperately and even more! Adieu Papa,” he tweeted.
Also, Lola Omotayo- Okoye in a post on her instagram page expressed shock at the death of her father.
Her post read in part: “In the early hours of this morning, I received some very sad news that brought my family’s world to a grinding halt. My darling Papa’s passing has hit us all very hard, and while we know that he is in a better place, the truth is that, there is no easy way to handle the grief that comes with the loss of a loved one…
“We love you papa, it hurts badly. And while we miss you desperately, we know we have been truly blessed to have had a husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather like you. Till we meet again to let no more. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.”
Peter and Lola got married in 2013 and they are blessed with two children.
