According to the African Examiner, an online news publication, Nigerian community who are usually polarized came together for once to pour out eulogies on this rising star whose life was cut short by an unknown gunman.

Wale, a lover of football, had only two more semesters to go before earning a degree in Economics at the University of Missouri in Kansas City (UMKC). He would have been married last year May, but pushed the event forward. His fiancée lives in Nigeria.
Until his death, Wale worked as a Correctional Officer, (Prison warden ). Police are trying to determine whether he was killed by a gang of recalcitrant prisoners.
Twenty five speakers, each represent in each year the deceased lived, including the Editor of Sharpedgenews.com Mr Oladimeji Abitogun, spoke emotionally about his life well spent.
His surviving Junior brother, Timothy Taofeek Oladipupo said Wale was a born again Christian whose favorite scripture ‘“for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son†was boldly displayed in their house.
