Tunde, son of the late renowned social critic, Dr. Tai Solarin, said his mother, Sheila, died on Sunday as a result of injuries she sustained when she fell out from a chair.
He said his mother was fond of gathering children around herself while sitting on the chair from which she fell.
He said,
“Even at old age she would sit on her chair, gather some children of staff members and others who used to come to her from outside and teach them.
“She died as a result of injuries sustained when she fell out from her chair while trying to get out of it.”
Sheila, 88, died on Sunday afternoon at the Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Ilishan Remo, Ogun State.
She had reportedly slipped while going to bed some months back and was rushed to the hospital where she was operated upon.
She was reported to have sustained a broken hip as a result of the domestic accident.
Tunde, who spoke in Ikenne, said his mother would be buried beside her husband in two weeks’ time after a meeting with other family members.
