In a heartfelt message shared with close friends, Bola described her sister as “a beacon of love, wisdom, and quiet strength,” adding that “life will never be the same without her laughter and her presence.”
Lola Adefope was known for her grace, sharp intellect, and deep commitment to family. A quiet force behind several philanthropic efforts, she was said to have been a strong support system for many.

As the family prepares for he funeral, tributes continue to pour in from Nigeria and abroad.
While Bola Attah has not made any formal public statement beyond her initial note, those close to her say she is “taking time to heal, surrounded by love and prayer.”
