Nigerian-British ex-Lagos civil servant found dead in London home

Prince Adeoba Adeniji-Adele, a 62-year-old Nigerian-British former civil servant from Lagos, was discovered deceased in his London apartment. After retiring from his position as an information officer in various government agencies in 2024, Adeniji-Adele relocated to the UK and took up a role as a support officer with Bushey Meadows Supported Living.

According to his childhood friend, Abayomi Ishola, colleagues grew concerned when Adeniji-Adele failed to return calls or respond to messages from his wife and workplace. They arranged for a welfare check at his residence, Flat 6, 2A, Bruce Road, Barnet, London, where his lifeless body was found. Ishola revealed that Adeniji-Adele had been diagnosed with prostate cancer but received treatment two months prior to his death.

Kehinde, Adeniji-Adele's widow, confirmed that she last spoke with him the day before his death. She recounted a conversation where he expressed exhaustion and wished to sleep, which she had promised to do the next day. However, her attempts to reach him on Monday were unsuccessful, leading to her increased worry. British authorities have initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Adeniji-Adele's untimely demise.
