She was 54. “This is a big loss to me, I am feel a personal loss right now,” Razak Atunwa, her Reps colleague from Kwara, told our reporter Friday evening. “It was this afternoon that she passed on in Abuja.” Mr Atunwa, chairman of House Judiciary Committee and governorship aspirant in Kwara, said Ms Adedoyin died of cancer. “She had been battling cancer in the past few years,” the lawmaker said.
