Bob-Oseni who is also a real estate dealer was on his way to the airport, before stopping by to see the 21-storey building being developed by his friend and associate.

The 21-storey building under construction collapsed with Bob-Oseni and Osibona inside, and both are now presumed dead after 48 hours of rescue efforts.

As reported by The Cable Former Presidential Candidate and Publisher, Dele Momodu, who was close to both of them, said that both men were his “aburos” – an affectionate term for younger friends.

Momodu on a phone conversation said, “Wale was on his way to the US… this is so tragic.”

Also, a man believed to be Bob-Oseni’s driver was seen crying in a video that went viral some minutes after the collapse.

The driver who was in tears said, “He was heading to America. I want to go and drop him at the airport.”
