Her friend, Adebayo Jones, who is also a designer, confirmed Osholake’s death on his facebook page.
Jones wrote, “Sadly my dear friend who
has been in hospital treatment for cancer, whom most of you have prayed
for and sent goodwill messages passed away moments ago.
“I am still in shock. I just don’t get it how someone can be diagnosed and be gone within two weeks.
“I saw her on Thursday and she was in a
very delicate state which greatly distressed me the whole night and
Friday. I really did wish there was something I could have done.
“This morning just about 12 noon, I was
praying for another friend going through an operation as I write, and I
spent the rest of the time praying for my dear friend Remi and pleading
God’s mercy. Got the message just after I finished praying.”
Osholake was 51 years old.
