Bayonle Akinyele, third son of former Minister of Information, Chief Alex Akinyele, has died in an auto crash.
Details were sketchy last night, but Daily Sun learnt that the deceased, in his mid 30's, was on the way from Lagos to Ibadan, when the tragic incident occurred. At least five people perished in the crash.
Father of two, Bayonle was married to a Russian. He was manager of some of his father's businesses. He will be buried in Ondo town by 3pm today.
Only last month, Ondo was agog as Chief Akinyele turned 70, with high networth individuals flocking into the town to celebrate with the former minister. Former military president, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida was personally at the event.
'This is a big blow. It is almost unbearable for a man who is still relishing a highly successful birthday celebrations," a source close to the Akinyele family told Daily Sun last night.
