One of the children of late Chief Alex Akinyele, a former Minister of Information and Chairman, Constantine, said the family is under no illusion that knew all those the deceased fathered.
Instead, Constantine, whose mother, the late Lady Yvonne had seven children for the deceased Ondo high chief with one demised, said the family would not be caught by surprise if any person unknown to them walks in claiming to be late Akinyele’s child in an interview he granted Punchng.com.
He told the paper: “My father was married to the late Lady Yvonne Akinyele; from that marriage, there were five of us. Unfortunately, one of us has passed on. Before my father got married, he had my elder brother, Akinrinmola Akinyele, and we have a big sister, an adopted sister. Those were the people that were raised by the late Chief Akinyele and the late Lady Yvonne Akinyele.
“But when my mother passed on, my father remarried. He married Lady Maria, so I have a sister in India, Olayokunbo, and I discovered I have a brother, Akintunde, who is in the UK and then I am open and waiting to see if I have any other sibling I am not aware of. I am sure they will come out. His children are: Akinrinmola, Thuli Babajide, Constantine, Sholagbade, Bayonle (who has passed on), Westerfield, Abimbola, Olayokunbo, and Akinwande.”
