Veronica Adeleke passed away on March 6th, 2003. She was only 39 years old. Her death came as a shock to everyone including her family.

She was born in 1963. The notable thing about her is that she loved music, just like her son. In the 90s, she had a brilliant music career and was the owner of a record label. She was also part of a band named “David’s Band.” This was not the only thing she named after her son. She also had a security company, which was called “David’s security”.
