Tragedy: Dapo Ojora, Saraki’s Brother-in-Law, Commits Suicide |The Source

Tragedy has hit the family of billionaire Boardroom guru, Otunba Adekunle Ojora and his lovely wife, Erelu Ojuolape Ojora. Their son, Dapo Ojora, died Friday evening in tragic circumstances.

Dapo, a polo enthusiast, allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. This comes a couple of years after he survived a near-fatal motorbike accident.

Dapo was the elder brother to Mrs Toyin Saraki, wife of the immediate past Senate President, and two-time Governor of Kwara State, Dr. Bukola Saraki.

Dapo’s tragic death is a sad reminder for his family, of the death, nine years ago, of his elder brother, Gboyega, who died of heart attack at First Consultant Hospital, Ikoyi, at the age of 50.

It is not known, yet, why Dapo, a man from a distinguished background, would commit suicide. But  speculation is that he never got over his separation from his wife, Patricia, with whom he had irreconcilable differences.

Of the four children of Otunba Ojora and his wife, Ojuolape, only two are remaining – both now heart-broken  Mrs Toyin Saraki, and  Yinka Ojora.

Aside from his family,  Dapo Ojora will be missed by the Lagos social circle  where he was a constant. He was aged 58.
