The sad news was shared by his son, Akinkunmi Akinwumi Samuel, who announced the demise through a heartfelt Facebook post on Wednesday.
In his post, Samuel wrote, “Life is indeed transient; I can say boldly you lived a life with a landmark. Continue to rest on, my father! Pa Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi (O.F.R) Great Man has gone.”
