Dj Olu’s brother also called him his mentor and friend. He said his brother was ready to go the extra mile to achieve any of his goals including the proposed car wash and petrol station business he was planning to commission.
The elder sister to the Music Jockey amid tears said Dj Olu was more like an elder brother even though she is older.
Speaking last at the service, Dapo Abiodun said he would miss his son. He said he had questioned God, why this tragedy had befallen him.
In his touching speech he said.
“We were very close. I remember I would report Olu to my mother and she would say a tree doesn’t fall from a tree. I saw him for the last time last week Sunday when we had lunch; Olu was always wanting to please me. He was supposed to go back to Coventry last week for his postgraduate school but he begged me to allow him to stay for just one week because he wanted to commission his petrol station and car wash business.

I begged him to go to school promising him that I would help do everything while he was away but he refused. If he had gone back to school, he wouldn’t have died. I pray that I don’t have to reciprocate this kind of visit to anyone present here.”
His entertainment colleagues present at the candlelight service were Naeto C, Mayorkun and Davido’s manager Asa Asika.
