Dapo Ojora, a socialite and one of the sons of boardroom guru, Otunba Adekunle Ojora, is dead.

Dapo was said to have shot himself in the head Friday evening, The Street Journal quoted sources as saying.

But family sources said it was a case of accidental discharge.

Dapo’s strange death came as a rude shock to many who could not fathom the reason he would take his own life in such a gruesome manner.

A couple of years back, Dapo mysteriously escaped death via a ghastly power bike accident, which forced him to beat a retreat from the public space.

Street journal, however, reported that there are indications that his alleged suicide might not be unconnected to his marital woes with wife, Patricia, a trained lawyer and an entrepreneur.

The duo allegedly decided to go their separate ways when the marriage became tempestuous a few years ago.

Dapo, despite the bold face he used to put up, was said to be seriously hit by the divorce because of the deep love he had for his wife.

Just last year, himself and his wife put their differences aside when they both hosted the creme de la creme of society to their daughter, Tara’s wedding to her ‘beau’, Folajimi

Ayodeji, at their family house in Ikoyi, Lagos.

He left behind his parents and two siblings –Toyin Saraki and Yinka Ojora.

They all would no doubt be badly hit with this sad news as just nine years ago, they lost the scion of the family, Gboyega Ojora, fondly referred to as Gbegi who died at the age of 50 of heart attack at First Consultant Hospital, Ikoyi.
