One of the wives of Late veteran singer Fatai Rolling Dollar, says
the veteran musician asked for her forgiveness moments before he took
his last breath. Zainab Olagunju disclosed that Fatai demand pardon from
her because he knew he had wronged her.
Zainab gave birth to two
children for Fatain, namely Jamiu and Mojeed. The couple was married in
1999 and lived together in Mushin – Lagos before they eventually moved
to Agege.
“On the day that he died, June 12, I got to the
hospital and saw them passing a drip into his body. The last thing he
told me was that he had offended me and my conscience. When I asked what
he meant by that, his voice faded out completely,” she said.
Zainab
said that the main reason he was asking for forgiveness was because he
took in another wife after her. She said that although she had suspected
he was unfaithful, he denied it anytime she confronted him.
Zainab said, “I
feel he wanted to confess to me that he had married another wife
because he never told me about it before his death. I used to ask him
about it, but he always denied it. I feel he wanted to tell me about
Sherifatu Olagunju, his last wife.
“When I found out, I
was not angry. As a human being, if you hear that your husband is not
faithful, you would be pained. I used to see her with my husband but I
did not know there was anything between them. He always denied it but
when we were burying him in Ikorodu and Sherifatu saw how everything
was, she calmed down and accepted me as her senior. I also took her as
my junior. Three days after the burial of my husband, she came to live
with me and we didn’t fight. We see ourselves more as sisters.”
