Mrs. Jane Balogun, the late mother of renowned Nigerian singer Ayo Balogun, better known as WizKid, was remembered with sincere reverence by her loved ones.
In a touching gesture, WizKid, accompanied by his elder sister, astute Project Management Consultant, Busayo Balogun, joined hands with other close-knit family members and a circle of friends, all dressed in black, to light the way with a candlelight service in loving memory of the departed.
The solemn yet heartwarming occasion unfolded in Lagos State, complete with a procession that paraded through the streets of Shitta Small London, Surulere, a neighborhood close to WizKid’s roots where he came of age.
