Popular Akure socialite and political thug, Adeleye Fayehun, better known as Ade Basket, is dead.
He reportedly died in the early hours of Wednesday after an undisclosed illness.
According to the state-owned newspaper, The Hope, the socialite had been hospitalised for a few weeks before his death.
This is coming a few weeks after his wife, Atinuke Fayehun, died and was buried late October 2026.
Recall that Ade Basket was arrested in July 2016 for assaulting a pregnant woman, leaving her in a coma.
Ade Basket, who has repeatedly been linked in news reports to violence and gang leadership, with ties to political parties and figures, gained prominence in the early 2000s.
