Reports say he had complained of pains on Thursday prompting his son, Konyin Ajayi, to take him to a Lagos hospital where he died.
Olaniwun Ajayi was born in Isara Remo on the 8th of April, 1925, to Benjamin Awoyemi Ajayi, a farmer and Marian Efundolamu Ajayi who traded in the farm produce. He studied at Islamic Primary School, Epe where he schooled for three months.
He was later enrolled into a primary school in 1937 and completed his primary education in Ode-Remo after-which authorities of the school engaged him to teach due to his intelligence and outstanding result.
