Ex-Lagos civil servant found dead in UK home

Prince Adeoba Adeniji-Adele, a Nigerian-British civil servant, was found dead in his London home. Adeniji-Adele, who was 62 years old, had lived in the UK since 2024 after retiring from his role as an information officer in the Lagos State Government Public Service. Upon moving to the UK, he began working as a support officer with Bushey Meadows Supported Living.

His colleagues discovered his lifeless body on Monday after conducting a welfare check due to his absence from work and communication with his family. Adeniji-Adele had recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer but had recovered and returned to work. He had four children and had obtained British passports for them before his death.

Kehinde, his widow, expressed her sorrow in a Facebook post, describing him as a loving husband who had done everything in his power to ensure the family's well-being. British authorities are investigating his passing and plan to conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of his death.
