Mrs. Rosemary Adebutu, one of the wives of Chief Kessington Adebutu, the owner of the defunct Face-to-Face Pools, is dead.
She was said to have died in a highbrow hospital on Lagos Island on Saturday afternoon after a brief illness.
Chief Kola Oyefeso, a close associate of the bereaved billionaire, confirmed the news of Rosemary’s passing to Punch.
It was gathered that the deceased was the mother of Temitope, the estranged wife of Olujonwo, the son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Mrs. Rosemary Adebutu was said to have suddenly developed a mild illness at her Ikoyi home and was rushed to the hospital, where she gave up the ghost. It was, however, not clear the health condition of the deceased.
But Oyefeso said her death had no connection with COVID-19.
He said, “Yes, he (Adebutu) lost one of his wives today’s (Saturday) afternoon. It is true.”
When asked whether it had to do with COVID-19, he said, “No. It has nothing to do with it.”
