The family of late Femi Osibona, owner of the 21-storey building that collapsed in Ikoyi on November 1, has debunked reports insinuating that his siblings are fighting the wife over his property.

Late Osibona was among the 44 souls that perished when the building collapsed.

Reacting to the reports, Olufemi Adeniyi, a legal adviser and friend of the family in write up said he was alarmed to read the heartless publication: ‘wife, brothers of late owner of collapsed Ikoyi building, Osibona fight over bank details, exotic cars, other assets, engaged lawyers’.

“The online media house that carried the news at first, to everyone’s knowledge, is known for its biased conducts in reportages – which I wouldn’t take my precious time to talk about.

“Now, here is the truth of the matter. The ‘brothers’ that the sadistic media houses referred to were actually Ebun, who is female and Lanre, both of whom have no time to ambush anyone on any matter whatsoever.

“They are the best anyone would love to dwell. While the wife in reference is a peace-loving soulful woman, Doyin, all of whom as a united family are still, more than anyone, grieving over the loss of their departed loved one.

According to him, Doyin, wife of the deceased, had just returned home from UK with her second daughter, Pelumi, who is studying medicine abroad, in order to meet the family and plan a befitting burial for her husband.

“Just this past Saturday, 6th day of November, 2021,the grieving family were together consoling one another, as evidenced in this shot I stumbled upon, picturing Femi Osibona’s wife, one of the assumed ‘brothers’ in the carefree report, who actually is the deceased sister Ebun and Sola Olabiran the deceased big brother /confidant.

“I plead with the public to allow this family mourn peacefully, and cease from speculating unsubstantiated suppositions. Unfortunately, the assumption of fights and discord in the family which I just put on straight record and rest is only one of the numerous false allegations that is being peddled about the late Femi Osibona and the collapsed building on Gerrard Street.
