The deceased was later moved to the Ebony Vaults where Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, joined the crowd of mourners.

The body was interred according to Islamic rites.

This online media platform recalls that the Lagos State House of Assembly had on Tuesday announced the demise of the lawmaker, who, until his passing represented Mushin Constituency 2 and chaired the House Committee on Local Government and Community Relations.

“This death really hit us below the belt. We will all miss him more than words can express. We urge you to join us in prayers for his family at this time,” a statement signed by Hon. Setonji David, Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Strategy, and Security, said.
