Former Lagos Civil Servant Found Dead at London Home as UK Authorities Investigate

Prince Adeoba Adeniji-Adele, a 62-year-old Nigerian-British former Lagos State public servant, was found dead at his home in London. Colleagues requested a welfare check after they could not reach him, and British authorities have reportedly begun investigating the circumstances of his death. Adeniji-Adele retired from public service after working as an information officer for several Lagos State agencies. He returned to the UK in 2024 and later took a job as a support officer. He had previously lived in the UK before moving to Nigeria in 2012. His widow, Kehinde, said they spoke the day before his death and he told her he was tired and wanted to sleep. When she called the following day, a person who answered his phone told her he had died. She described him as a devoted husband who put his family first. Friends said he had been making plans to bring his wife and children to the UK.
