Late Ajayi

By Innocent Anaba

A Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja has declared Mrs. Adenike Ajayi the sole and lawful widow of the late founder and Chief Executive Officer of First Foundation Hospital, Dr. Tosin Ajayi, bringing to an end a protracted legal battle over the deceased’s marital status and estate.

In a judgment delivered by Justice Oluwayoyin Odusanya, the court granted all the reliefs sought by Mrs. Ajayi and her children, dismissing the claims of former beauty queen, Helen Prest, that she was also a spouse of the late medical practitioner.
