Dr. Akintunde Ayeni, the Chief Executive Officer of Yem-Kem International is bereaved.
The alternative medicine practitioner has lost his wife, Erelu Abiodun Antonia.
The unfortunate incidence is happening five months after he hosted dignitaries to the wedding ceremony of his son, Christopher to his lover, Adeola Boye at Hyde Park, Lagos.
Ayeni came back to social reckoning when he crawled out after many years in hibernation to celebrate his 60th birthday in early 2024.
Before he recoiled into his shell, Ayeni was a staple for international media organizations like British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC and Cable Network News, CNN who ran documentaries on his exploits. He succeeded in putting the country on the world map via traditional medicine.
As his fame and exploits grew, so did his bank accounts began bursting at its seams and so also did he become the toast of society veterans. He soon diversified and went into the hospitality business.
He built one of the biggest hotels in Ekiti State at that time and suddenly, he disappeared. So many insinuations about what he had been up to were bandied around. Some alleged that he had fallen on bad times particularly when he reduced the number of his office branches from 48 to 7. Others said he had quit the business due to competition from international companies that have flooded the country with their own brands of herbal medicines.
But during the outbreak of the Coronavirus, he crawled out from hibernation and began a search into a remedy to quell the killer virus in partnership with the Ooni of Ife, HRH Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi. But as the wave of the killer virus died down, Ayeni scurried back into his shell until he surfaced for his 60th birthday party.
