Very sad! Ms Iyetade Soyinka, the second daughter of Nobel laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka has passed on. She reportedly died while receiving treatment yesterday, 29th December 2013 at the University of Ibadan Teaching Hospital where she was being treated for an undisclosed ailment.

Iyetade was described in a statement by Jahman Anikulapo, an aide to Mr. Soyinka as affable, intelligent and sometimes capricious, “she struggled with her health in recent years, she greeted every day with a smile and doted on her two children.”

She is survived by her two children, parents, siblings, nieces and nephews.”
