‘It was so painful, after his passing he got citizenship’

One of these days Moses and his wife Olusola should have been getting into the car parked outside their front door and driving to a ceremony where they would have celebrated being granted Irish citizenship. Times, however, are very different now.

The family of taxi driver Moses Ayanwole, killed following a row at a Dublin rank last November, feel his death as keenly now as they ever did, with his wife Olusola whispering: “My husband is the best husband in the world. We have been together for 16 years, we haven’t been separated for a day. My best friend, my confidante, my supporter, my helper.”

More than two months on from his death at the age of 41, Olusola and her son Joshua, 12, are struggling with the lingering impact of the tragedy.
