The statement noted that Oladips had kept his “battles within himself” for over two years.
“The family asked that we respect their privacy in this trying time. May God give us all the fortitude to bear this great loss. (amen).- Management.”
Oladips’ body is now with his family, and funeral plans will be announced shortly, as per the message from his management.
