Exactly two weeks after the death of Aare Musulumi of Yoruba land, Abdul-Azeez Arisekola-Alao, one of his widows, Jelilat, died in an auto-crash at Eyenkorin, near Ilorin, Kwara State on Tuesday evening.

She was aged 62.

The PUNCH gathered that the late Jelilat was the eldest wife of the late billionaire, who died in his London home on the day he was due back in Nigeria.

Jelilat was last seen by a neighbour in Ibadan on Monday afternoon, just before she embarked on the fatal journey.

She had two children for the Muslim leader, Abdullahi and Fatimah. She was buried at her residence in Apata area of Ibadan on Wednesday.

Her late husband had died of a heart-related disease in his sleep in London after taking his breakfast and drugs.

Family, friend’s children and neighbours mourned the late Jelilat Arisekola-Alao, describing her as a devout Muslim and a generous neighbour.
