With deep sorrow but total submission to the will of God, we regret to announce the sad demise of Mrs Victoria Olufemi Abike Austen-Peters nee Lasebikan. She was the widow of Nigeria’s first head of its Armed Forces Medical Corps, the Late Brigadier Olumuyiwa Adegoke Austen-Peters.
Aged 76, Mrs Femi Austen-Peters, died on Monday 17, October 2022 at her residence in Otto, Lagos, South West Nigeria.
Mrs Femi Austen-Peters studied in Nigeria and the United Kingdom and worked in Nigeria’s public service before becoming a successful businesswoman with a chain of businesses which include Fapet, a popular fashion design company, and Otto water, a fast-selling water brand.
Mrs Femi Austen-Peters is survived by her only sister Mrs Oluyemisi Adede (née Lasebikan) and step-sons and a step-daughter who are Reverend Fagbola, Dotun, Tokunbo, Timi, Adeoye and Miss Bisoye Austen-Peters who, together with other family members will greatly miss her.
Her extensive family in Ibadan, friends and in-laws both in Nigeria and outside the country will no doubt miss her.
