Abimbola Olawuyi, the widow of the late Nigerian investigative broadcaster Kola Olawuyi, has died. She passed away on Monday, 19 years after her husband, who was known for his program 'Nnkan Nbe,' which explored supernatural and captivating topics.

“

Yes, it is true. The wife of my late boss, Akolawole Olawuyi, Pastor (Mrs) Taiwo Abimbola Olawuyi, joined her husband on 6 July 2026.

Sources close to the family described Abimbola, a pastor, as the family's pillar. Following her husband's death in March 2007, she took on all responsibilities, providing resilience and strength to their four children. Her unwavering commitment kept the family united through the challenging years.

In a 2018 interview, Abimbola reflected on the difficulties since her husband's death but expressed gratitude for the strength to persevere and continue his ministry. She is survived by their four children.

Her death is truly painful. She had been taking care of the family and the four children left by her husband, Kola Olawuyi, and now the children are orphans. Only God knows what lies ahead for them. I am deeply pained.
