Yinka died on Saturday after battling with respiratory problems occasioned by COVID-19 complications. The senior Odumakin said prayer sessions were organised to avert the death.

He said “There was a prophecy that we should pray for Yinka so that fresh tree would not fall instead of the dry one. What that means is that our dad, who is 115 years old, is alive and 56-year-old, the last child of our father is gone.”
