In August, Niniola cannot get over the trauma of watching her father, Simeon Apata, a retired Nigerian Army Brigadier-General, being assassinated.
Gunmen assassinated Gen. Apata (rtd.) on January 8, 1995, in Lagos, in the presence of his family.

“I was in the house when my dad was murdered. And I was his favorite child, so you can imagine [the trauma]. Till today, I’m not over it. I can never get over it,” she said.
“I was very young when it happened. Don’t remember my exact age then but it wasn’t a good memory.”
In the interview, the singer explained why she never signed with a record label.
In an interview on Hip TV, the ‘All Eyes On Me’ hitmaker said she received several record deal offers after releasing her debut single, however, she was hesitant due to fears of losing her “creative freedom”.
“I have been an independent artiste for 10 years now, and it has its pros and cons. After I released my debut single in 2014, several record labels were calling me, but at the time, I was sceptical because I didn’t want anyone to take away my creative freedom,” she said
