Yinka Ayefele reflects on August personal tragedies

Yinka Ayefele has expressed concern over a series of personal misfortunes that seem to repeatedly occur in August

Speaking in an appreciation message to supporters on his radio station following a recent fire that gutted Fresh FM 105.9 and Blast FM 98.3 in Ibadan, Ayefele questioned why many of his most heartbreaking experiences are linked to the same month.

The singer recalled the tragic loss of his younger brother, Oluwole Ayefele, who was the leader of the anti-robbery squad in Ore and d!ed in a fatal accident on August 2.

He also reflected on the demolition of his popular Music House in Ibadan on August 19, seven years ago, and, most recently, the fire that destroyed his radio stations on August 15, 2025.

“There is something I don’t understand. Some years ago, my immediate younger brother had an accident and died on August 2. Also, seven years ago on August 19, my Music House was demolished. Now on August 15, 2025, my radio stations caught fire. It was the men of God who came to pray for me that called my attention to this. Why always August? I don’t know what is going on,” he lamented.

Despite the recurring setbacks, Ayefele expressed gratitude to God and his well-wishers, saying their support continues to give him strength during difficult times.
