Lanipekun died four days after his 80th birthday was celebrated with pomp.
An NTA official close to the family reportedly confirmed the passing of the highly respected journalist.
His death came just a week after another iconic sports journalist, Sunny Emmanuel Ojagbaese, died in the United States.
Born as Adesola Lanipekun, he adopted the name “Fabio” from a novel he read while he was a student at the Methodist Boys High School in Lagos. (With reports by Sportsvillagesquare)
