Oluwaseyitan Aletile, also known as Seyilaw in Nigeria, has expressed sorrow over the passing of his mother.
On Wednesday, the performer announced her passing on his Instagram page.
“I couldn’t cover my mum as she slept because of the cold. All my life, my mother followed me, but I never spoke to her. Oh, Seyi Lya! I’m terribly sorry; death separated us.
“You were the beauty on which the cradle of my life was built. My gold has gone with the sunset and that lovely smile is not to be seen anymore,” he wrote in the caption.
Describing her as a woman who “suffered and yet showed kindness,” he praised God for her life well-lived and also asked for forgiveness on her behalf.
“God, I can’t, but praise you in everything. Thank you heavenly Father. Please forgive my mother and celebrate her. She suffered and yet, showed kindness and the goodness of her heart never stopped. Rest on my mother and we love you, Mama rere,” he said.
