Friends, associates, and family members gathered in Sagamu, Ogun State, to bid farewell to Caroline Odukoya, mother of former Managing Director of AIT, Tosin Dokpesi, in a ceremony that blended solemnity with style.
The event drew a vibrant crowd, with guests dressed in coordinated yellow and orange patterned aso-ebi, creating a striking visual display across the venue. Tosin Dokpesi stood out in a carefully styled monochrome outfit, featuring layered fabrics in shades of yellow that reflected the day’s dress code.
At the reception, she moved around the venue exchanging greetings with sympathisers who had come to honour her late mother and offer support. The atmosphere was filled with warmth as guests shared words of comfort.
One of the highlights of the ceremony came when the Master of Ceremonies drew attention to Dokpesi. Surrounded by close friends and well-wishers, she briefly took to the dance floor, moving gracefully to the rhythm of traditional drums as cheers filled the air.
The event later transitioned into a relaxed social gathering, with attendees engaging in conversations, reconnecting, and taking photographs.
The passing of Caroline Odukoya, which was announced earlier in the year, had drawn tributes from friends and associates who described her as a devoted matriarch and a quiet pillar of strength within her family. In the weeks leading up to the burial, several sympathisers had reached out publicly and privately to console Tosin Dokpesi and her loved ones.
