62-Year-Old Nigerian Man Found Dead at His Home in the UK After Colleagues Raise Alarm Over His Absence.
A 62-year-old Nigerian-British man, Prince Adeoba Adeniji-Adele, has been found dead in his London residence in the United Kingdom.
Adeniji-Adele’s lifeless body was discovered last Monday at his apartment in Barnet after colleagues at his workplace requested a welfare check when he failed to report to work or respond to calls and messages.
His childhood friend, Abayomi Ishola, confirmed the incident, explaining that his colleagues became concerned after unsuccessful attempts to reach him and contacted emergency services.
According to Ishola, the deceased had been diagnosed with prostate cancer but received treatment two months ago and subsequently returned to work without showing signs of illness.
Adeniji-Adele relocated to the UK in 2024 after retiring from the Lagos State Government Public Service, where he worked as an information officer at different government agencies, including the Office of the Public Defender and Gbagada General Hospital.
He later secured a job as a support officer at Bushey Meadows Supported Living.
His wife, Kehinde, disclosed that she spoke with him a day before his de@th, during which he complained of exhaustion and said he wanted to sleep. However, her attempts to reach him the following day were unsuccessful.
She said she eventually received a call from a man who informed her that her husband had been found dead after a welfare check was conducted at his residence.
The deceased, who had four children, was reportedly making arrangements for his wife and children to join him in the UK before his death.
Meanwhile, British authorities have commenced an investigation, with plans to conduct an autopsy to establish the cause of d+ath.

RIP
But from my own submissions, it’s not advisable for someone that has worked for years in his or her own country,thinking of relocation to another country with the stress of traffic, light issues etc the person have gone through for years.
So once someone is above 50th it’s not advisable to go start another hustling over there, thinking of how pay bills, how to settle the people you left behind at home
No countries are so easy as we thought until you get there.
It’s only good for younger ones and youth

It’s sad, but we don’t know what he may have been going through. Those of us still alive around that age must give Glory to God, and be thankful for his grace. May the greatest comforter JESUS comfort those he left behind.
