Business mogul Akanni Aliko has died just weeks before his 79th birthday.
The publisher of the defunct Third Eye Newspapers died at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State, on Friday morning, his wife Kofoworola Aluko said.
Mrs Aluko broke the news to one of Aluko’s closest friends, Folu Olamiti.
Aluko battled with stroke for some years. He would have turned 79 on July 22.
The geologist by training hailed from Ilesha, Osun State, where he was also installed as a high chief in the community.
