“Omayinuwa visited us briefly at about 10:40 am on Friday 10th April and returned to heaven on Saturday 11th of April at about 4:15 pm. Her stay was short but it brought great joy with it. We would have wished for a longer stay, but alas, heaven thought otherwise. This much we know though, God still rules in the affairs of men. Our faith in the goodness of God remains resolute regardless. Sibe’ sibe’ Oluwa n’be’. It is well with our soul,” he said.
The baby girl was born to Doyle and his wife, Funmilayo.
The actor had earlier shared news of her arrival on Friday, noting at the time that both mother and child were in good health, and he was overwhelmed with joy.
The announcement of her passing has since drawn sympathy, with many expressing condolences and support for the family during this difficult moment.
