Dr. Doyin Okupe, a renowned Nigerian physician, politician, and former presidential aide, has passed away at the age of 72.
Sources close to the family revealed that Okupe had been critically ill in the weeks leading up to his demise. His health had reportedly deteriorated significantly, causing concern among his loved ones and supporters.
Okupe was first diagnosed with prostate cancer 16 years ago and later developed sarcoma in his right shoulder. Despite seeking treatment abroad, his condition did not improve as he and his family had hoped.
His passing marks the end of a long battle with cancer, leaving behind a legacy in both medicine and politics.
