The children and extended family of the late Madam Sabitiu Aduke Adewale (née Elekunle) on Sunday, July 7, 2025, held a remembrance prayer to mark the 34th anniversary of her passing.
Madam Sabitiu, who died on July 7, 1991, at the age of 70, is fondly remembered for her virtues and lasting legacy. The remembrance prayer, which has become an annual tradition for the family, was attended by relatives, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and well-wishers.
Islamic clerics led the prayer session, offering supplications for the continued forgiveness of the deceased and peace for her soul. In their sermon, the senior clerics emphasized the importance of remembering departed loved ones in prayers and seeking Allah’s mercy on their behalf.
Among the children who led the memorial were Mariam Anike, Alhaji Kasali Jimoh Adewale, and Liadi Jimoh Adewale. They were joined by other family members and community members who gathered to honour the memory of a matriarch they described as devout, kind-hearted, and principled.
The solemn event served not only as a spiritual reflection but also as a celebration of the enduring bond between generations and the legacy left behind by Madam Sabitiu Aduke Adewale.
