The fun loving dude died in the early hours of December 2nd at the Ikeja General Hospital where he was admitted over a month after he was involved in a domestic gas explosion that occurred at his Sangotedo residence in Ajah.
It was gathered that the house help forgot to turn the gas cooker off properly after using it and on getting home, the socialite went into the kitchen and turned on the gas cooker and it exploded, leaving him with severe injuries. We also learnt that he spent some weeks in the hospital before giving up the ghost.
Habeeb was survived by his 8years old daughter Temi Arowora who sadly he had not set his eyes upon because her mother was sent to England to give birth to the un-born Temi and ever since the wife gave birth, they were both waiting to get their Green card in London before returning.
