A prominent Lagos hotelier, Otunba Kunle Akinyele, tragically passed away on Saturday after collapsing during a church thanksgiving service held in honour of his wife’s 60th birthday.
The incident occurred at Christ Apostolic Church, Oke-Iyanu, Odemuyiwa District Headquarters, Egbeda, Lagos State, leaving family, friends, and well-wishers in deep shock.
Akinyele was said to have unveiled a brand new Toyota Highlander SUV he bought for his wife to mark the event.
Then, it was time for singing and dancing.
The wife discussed with him briefly on stage and a few seconds later, he slumped.
Attempts to revive him were futile.
The wife and a few others were already crying.
He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
