The statement reads in part, “I received with shock, regret and a deep sense of loss, the news of the death of my friend, brother, family, and associate, Demola Seriki.
“He was a pillar, a believer in human capital and societal development, a staunch advocate of better lives for our people, honest and a role model to many. He devoted and committed his lifetime to lifting and developing others”.
The former Nigerian High Commissioner to the Republic of Ghana stated further that, “the death of Nigeria’s envoy to Spain is a terrible loss to us all adding that we can only take solace in the fact that he lived a worthy life and we believe he has been welcomed by the angels in heaven”.
