Death is so cruel!!! It doesn't choose who to take or who to leave. It strikes when least expected and leaves lots of tears and sorrow in it's wake. It's first language is sadness and pain. But in God we trust!

Earlier today, former Youth and Sports Assistant Minister and 2017 Machakos governor hopeful Wavinya Ndeti was thrown in mourning, after her Nigerian hubby Dolamu Henry Oduwole passed on. Oduwole died at Nairobi Hospital where he had been admitted after his blood pressure shot up drastically.

Wavinya’s elder brother Raphael Musyoki told the Star that Oduwole passed on while in the ICU at around 1.30am.

"I was called by my sister at around 1am telling me that the condition of her husband had worsened. Upon arriving at the hospital a few minutes later, he passed on. He has been on and off hospital since March. He has actually been to Mater Hospital, Nairobi Hospital and even to London. But this morning, God decided to have him rest," Musyoki said.

He said that Oduwole’s death came as a big blow to the entire Ndeti family as he occupied a big place in their lives and hearts.

"It is a big blow not only to his wife Wavinya but also the entire Ndeti’s family because to us, Oduwole was not just an in-law but a son in the family. He was very supportive on any family matter," said Muysoki.

He described the late Oduwole as a very humble man who respected the young and old. He said the family will communicate the burial date later this week for they had to first consult with their relatives in Nigeria.

"We have already notified his family members in Nigeria and we are consulting with them to see when and how the burial dates will be fixed," he said.
