Socialite, Alhaji Dawud Makanjuola Akinola more popularly known as D-Damak may not have forgotten the pains that comes with losing a loved one, but he seems more than ready to move on with his life, afterall, life is certainly not all rosy.
In 2021, the Aare Musilimi of Yorubaland, Edo and Delta States (leader of all Muslims in Yorubaland, Edo and Delta States) lost his youngest wife, Alimot Funke aka Lafunky, who was based in London. She was in her 40s and passed on after a brief illness, believed to be complications from high blood pressure. Her death dealt him a huge blow and it looked like he would never recover from it.
This is because Lafunky was very dear to the money bag and was in fact his favourite wife. He went off the scene and shunned all social and political events and went into hibernation. But he has obviously decided not to let anything keep him down as he has been up and about in the past few weeks. A few days ago marked the first anniversary of her death and a private Islamic prayer was conducted inside his palatial Ibadan mansion. D-Damak, a philanthropist of no small measure, took over the Aare Musulumi title in 2015 following the demise of his predecessor, the late Alhaji Arisekola Alao.
