ADO-ODO, OGUN STATE, NIGERIA – The Head of Media and External Relations of the United Bank for Africa (UBA), Mr. Ramon Nasir, has lost his mother Alhaja (Chief) Mrs. Musiliat Amoke Falade, fondly called Olowoletiaso.
Aged 86, the Iya Oba of Imasayi-Yewa Kingdom, Ogun State, peacefully departed in the early hours of Thursday, July 25, 2024, while under care at Duchess International Hospital, Lagos.
A statement issued by the family and e-signed by Mr. Ramon Nasir confirmed her demise.

“It is with deepest regret and total submission to the will of the Almighty Allah that the families of Falade, Kuoye, Nasir, and Rasaq announce the passing away of our Mother and the Matriarch of our families, Musiliat Amoke, popularly known as Olowoletiaso, who peacefully departed in the early hours of Thursday, July 25, 2024.”
Alhaja (Chief) Mrs. Musiliat Amoke Falade was not only recognized for her leadership as the Iya-Oba of Imasayi-Yewa Kingdom, but also admired for her business acumen, religious devotion, and contributions to community development.
