of staff of Classic FM 97.3 are in mourning as one of their
popular OAPs, Sylvester O. Ojigbede , has been declared dead.
The suave presenter, fondly called ‘ Sly ‘ by colleagues and
listeners alike, passed away after a brief illness and although

seriously and was always on hand to help colleagues out even
when he was not officially due to be on duty.
