Singer and songwriter Teni Apata, along with her sister Teju, are paying tribute to their late father, Brigadier-General Simeon Apata, 30 years after his sad assassination.
Teni took to Instagram to celebrate her father’s legacy as a hero and icon.
“On this day, Nigeria stood still! My hero was taken from us. Keep resting gallant soldier, Apata!!!. My father, an icon, philanthropist, one of a kind. Your legacy will live forever,” she wrote on Instagram.
Teju, on Instagram, shared a post revealing the details of their father’s murder, including the use of a two-week-old baby as bait.
She reflected on the deep impact of his loss on their family and the absence of photographs with him.
Teni’s sister Niniola offered comforting words, encouraging Teju to see their father’s reflection in herself.
Brigadier-General Simeon Apata was a respected military officer who fought against armed robbery.
His enduring legacy includes the Apata Memorial Nursery/Primary and Secondary School, which continues to educate students.
“30 years ago you were assassinated in your home in front of your wife and children. In front of your 2 weeks old baby used as bait.. I never got a chance to take a picture with you. But when I spoke to my older sister @officialniniola yesterday said, look in the mirror, every time you see yourself you see him. That one hit deep. Rest in peace Simeon Olaosebikan Apata,” she wrote.
