Jegede recounted her initial meeting with Olamide in Primary 4 and how he was set to move on to Junior Secondary School 3 after the summer break before his untimely demise.
She wrote:
“My heart is shattered into pieces. Losing Olamide to cholera has left an irreplaceable void in my life. He was a bright and promising child, full of dreams and potential.
I still remember the joy and hope in his eyes when I first met him in Primary 4. We all looked forward to seeing him succeed and advance to Junior Secondary School 3 after the summer break.
The pain of his absence is unbearable, but I find solace in the fond memories we’ve shared and the love that continues to surround us.”
