Dapo Ojora, a socialite and one of the sons of billionaire businessman and board room guru, Otunba Adekunle Ojora and his wife, Erelu Ojuolape Ojora, has died.
Late Dapo allegedly shot himself in the head at his home in Ikoyi, Lagos state on Friday evening, December 11. The deceased is a brother-in-law to former Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
Family sources claim late Ojora became depressed following his marital crisis with his wife, Patricia, a trained lawyer, and an entrepreneur. The sources claim his marital woes took a heavy toll on him because of the love he had for his wife, Patricia, and that as much as he tried to put up a brave face, he couldn’t bear losing her.
Just last year, he and his wife put their differences aside when they both hosted the creme of society to their daughter, Tara’s wedding to her beau, Folajimi Ayodeji, in Ikoyi, Lagos.
