“We went to our rooms after our usual night prayers around 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 28. At about 10:55 p.m., he knocked on my door and said he was having chest pains,” he said.
Kehinde added that he immediately drove his brother to the hospital, but Taiwo passed away just minutes after they arrived.
“He was never sick,” he added while recounting the tragic incident.
