The unthinkable happened when the 37-year-old was later found unresponsive on a sofa at his place of work by a colleague during a night shift.

"On 18th April, 2026, Ademola, 37 years old, left home in the morning hale and hearty, with no signs of illness. He was in contact with his wife during the day, and they even shared a WhatsApp message at 2:08 pm; everything seemed normal.

"Tragically and without warning, Ademola passed away suddenly while at work. Later in the day, a colleague arriving for their night shift at the service user’s house found him seated on a sofa, unresponsive. Emergency services were called immediately, but sadly, he was gone."

"This devastating and unexpected loss has left his wife, just 31 years old, in deep shock and grief, now faced with raising their two young children, aged 6 and 2, without their father."

A GoFundMe has been launched in a bid to support the widow of Ademola Oke and their two young children.

"This cause is deeply important to me because I have seen firsthand the love within this family and the profound impact this loss has had on them. No family should have to endure such heartbreak while also facing financial uncertainty.
