Bidemi shared the photo of the deceased and posted, “Still can’t believe you are gone. You
asked me to get you some things from Dubai which I did. You asked me just last week when I would be
dropping them for you and I said this week, I would come. Now you are gone just
like that! You didn’t even wait to collect them! I will miss you so much! Our
fight, our gist, your prayers, you praising me all the time and your advice.
You even talked about all the things you would do on my wedding day. You have
been on my neck with this marriage issue. You did not wait for that day to come
and you left. Rest on, “Omo odudu kudu.” God please save her soul and
forgive her of her sins (amen)”
