Some of the offices within the NT were also visited to ask how the staffers felt about the untimely death of their Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Most of those seen displayed low and sombre moods.

A cleaner who refused to give her name was sobbing because of the unfortunate incident. When approached, she described the late Oyedepo as a good woman.

“She used to treat everyone as equal not minding where you are from.

“She renovated several offices and infrastructure within the theatre. She was fast at doing them as if she knew she would soon die,” she said.

“May she rest in peace, and God protect her family,” she said.

Also, Mr Augustine Agada, the Chairman of RATTAWU at the NT, said that everyone was sad at the untimely death of Oyedepo.
