Pastor Adeboye's Cousin & Son-In-Law to Ekiti Deputy Gov. Passes On

These are grieving times in the home of Professor (Mrs.) Modupe Adelabu, the Deputy-Governor of Ekiti State. Her son-in-law, Dr. Oluwaseun Fasawe, died in the early hours of Thursday, May 29th in London. He was aged 42. The deceased was married to Dolapo, the first daughter of the Ekiti State Deputy-Governor. Dr. Fash, as he was fondly called, was a popular Lagos medical practitioner and Public Health consultant. He was the Managing Director of Silver River Healthcare Nigeria Limited. Also a politician by calling, Dr. Fash was the PDP candidate during the 2011 general election, where he represented the Oluji/Okeigbo Federal Constituency. 


Just like her husband, Dolapo is also a medical practitioner and she is the Mental Health Desk Officer, Ministry of Health, Lagos State Secretariat and the Coordinator, Eko Free Health Mission. The couple was blessed with two lovely boys- Oluwakayode and Ayomidimeji, whom Dr. Fash doted on and thought the world of. 

 The ELITES gathered that Dr. Fash had left for the United Kingdom on Monday, May 19, where he was scheduled to undergo a corrective surgery, slated for Monday, June 2. His wife, Dolapo was preparing to join him this weekend when the sad incident occurred. Sources disclosed that on that fateful day, Dr. Fash was brimming with life and was looking forward to seeing his wife. However, few hours later, he was reported to have called his friend to inform him that he had difficulty in breathing. His friend had reportedly called for an ambulance to ferry him to the hospital. Tragically, Dr. Fash died before he arrived at the hospital. 

Dr. Fash was a close cousin of Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. His father, the late Oba (Dr.) Timothy Oluwole Fasawe, the Oluoke of Okeigbo, was an uncle to Pastor Adeboye. Predictably, the death of Dr, Fash has no doubt, cast his family, friends and associate into interminable grief. He was a young man without guile. Despite being involved in the fickle and fractious world of high society, Dr. Fash exuded a sweetness of character and good nature till the very end. He was as gracious as he was polite and immensely amiable.
