Alhaja Dr. Abibatu Asabi Mogaji, mother of former Governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu  died at her residence, 10 Sunday Adigun, Ikeja around 6pm on Saturday at age  96.

The popular Lagos  market  leader was buried  yesterday at the Ikoyi cemetery. 

Lagos literally stood still, as the President-General, Association of Nigerian Market Women and Men, was buried at the Vaults and Garden Cemetery, Ikoyi, amidst eulogies.

Tinubu, who recalled his mother’s last moments, said: “On Saturday afternoon, she had her lunch. After that, she took her drugs and rested.

“While resting, death came and snatched my mother away. Immediately she died, I felt her void. She taught everyone she came across contentment, love and the act of sharing, especially to the needy.
