The father of the late Greatness Olorunfumi, who died last week after alleged negligence of one of the general hospitals in Abuja after she entered ‘One chance’ vehicle, have broken silence.

Rev Dr Olorunfemi Joseph Olufemi, who spoke through the Secretary of Yali Network Nigeria, said that the family are  overwhelmed with the sad incident that happen and needed privacy to mourn their dead.

According to the secretary, Moyosoluwa Oladayo, Greatness’s father gave her permission to speak, adding that Greatness who was a member of the Yali Network Nigeria, Abuja, came into the Federal capital last year in search for green pastures from Lagos.
