Nollywood actress, Remi Surutu, has marked the first posthumous birthday of her daughter, Ayomikun Oladayo, who died on July 2 from complications arising from sickle cell anaemia.
“You would have been 23 years old today, but fate beat me to it,” the actress wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
Despite watching her daughter fight her condition for “22 years and a bit more,” Remi said “I didn’t experience in you the myth that fighters are always troublesome to handle, you were ever calm, obedient, cheerful, respectful and concerned.
“I can’t forget it all, your beauty in character and appearance.
“The elegance in your walks and the tenderness of your voice, you within a brief moment of existence lived an exceptional life, Keep resting baby, Ayomikun.”
Ayomikun was buried at Ebony Vaults in Ikoyi, Lagos on July 6.
Present at the burial were Yomi Fabiyi, who broke the news of the death on Instagram; Iyabo Ojo; Ronke Oshodi Oke and Busola Oke.
The deceased’s mother was absent at the funeral as dictated by tradition.
