As a lecturer and a singer, she was jovial and brilliant. Dr Veronica loved Davido so much that she named her music band and Company after him as David’s Band and Company respectively.
She passed away on March 6th, 2003, which was coincidentally the 40th birthday of her husband Adedeji Adeleke.

According to Urbanlife, she went to the church in the morning for service and when she came back, she locked herself in a room. A few hours later, she was found dead in her apartment. The funeral of Veronica Adeleke was held soon after her tragic passing, and her band, “David’s Band”, played there.
