Doyle, whose wife, Funmilayo, welcomed the child on Friday, announced the sad news in a social media post.
He penned, “Omayinuwa visited us briefly at about 10:40 am on Friday, April 10, and returned to heaven on Saturday, April 11, at about 4:15 pm.

“To the glory of God, I announce the precious addition of a female child to my quiver.
