Late veteran Nollywood actress Bukky Ajayi's family has spoken on details concerning her death on Wednesday July 6 2016.
Her second son Claudius Akinwade Peter-Thomas who spoke in an interview with Sahara Reporters said:
"Mummy has been struggling with her health, she had cancer of the breast, diabetic and was also hypertensive.”Bukky's last child Kunle Fawole told reporters how she died:
"There aren’t enough words to quantify Mama. She was an independent woman who shouldered the responsibility of raising three lions (sons) without raising her brows. I see her as a lioness. She was also able to combine and manage her situation and her career. She was a good planner."
"I and mama were in the living room with some of my friends when I noticed that her heart wasn’t moving, I mean like she stopped breathing. Immediately, I checked her pulse and called my elder brothers. We felt her pulse and heartbeat, did everything possible. But alas, she has passed on. And that was at about 11:23 am on Wednesday.
"She was a bit ill before this happened. She had been ill for a number of years now. She had stroke some couple of years back. There was a time she also had cerebral malaria. She became diabetic, hypertensive and also suffered breast cancer before now."
