According to Teni, her father was assassinated on January 8, 1995, in front of their home, in the presence of his wife and children.

In a heartfelt post, Teni shared a collage of photos and a video showcasing her father's legacy. She described him as a hero who was feared by armed robbers, having killed many before his untimely death.

Teni also shared a picture of her father's three wives, whom she referred to as "sisters" from different parts of Nigeria. The wives, Gladys Ify from Delta state, Margaret Olayinka from Ekiti state, and Margaret Folajogun from Ondo state, had granted an interview to Gregory Austin Nwakunor, in which they spoke about the significant impact of their husband's death on their lives.

The singer further highlighted one of her father's most enduring legacies: the Apata Memorial Nursery/Primary and Secondary School, which features a day and boarding house facility.

Celebrating his death anniversary, Teni, who has been open about her weight loss journey, also shared a side-by-side photo of herself and her late father, showcasing their striking resemblance.

In the post, Teni's sister, singer Niniola, offered words of comfort, advising Teni to look into the mirror and see their father's reflection. Teni expressed her gratitude for her sister's words, which she said had a profound impact on her.
