The daughter of the late Dayo Kujore, Ayinke, has disclosed how she dreamt about her father’s passing before his death.

Ayinke also talked about how close she was with her late father.
Dayo Kujore died on Monday, January 10, 2022, at the age of 69, at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.
She said, “I saw the death coming. I actually dreamt about it a month before he died. I wept in the dream and I prayed for it to be reversed. I never knew that it would certainly come to pass.
“My relationship with my dad was so cool and very cordial. He confided so much in me.
“Seeing me becoming more successful in the entertainment industry was another thing that gave him joy. I saw him as a friend; not a father.
“I was always around my father. We were so close. My father was actually a loving and accommodating man, and a disciplinarian. Watching him die in the hospital induced mixed feelings in me.
“I was happy that I was on ground when he breathed his last. However, losing one’s parent is never pleasant, irrespective of how old they are. I never thought my father would die so soon. We shared many things.
“He had plans for himself and the entire family for 2022. As I speak with you, it still feels like a dream. It feels to me like he is having a deep sleep and would soon wake up. I have indeed lost a good friend and gist mate.”
On what she would miss about him, she said, “I would miss many things about him, including the attention and affection he always showered on me.”
She disclosed the arrangement for burial and how she wanted it.
“Being an entertainer, we are planning to give him a befitting ‘celebration of life’ at a date that would be announced later.
“We plan to bury him in Robiyan town, Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State between January 27 and 28.”
