The late cleric, widely respected for his spiritual leadership and unwavering commitment to Islamic values, was known for guiding many through life’s challenges with wisdom and compassion. His death marks the end of an era in religious and community leadership in Epe.
“As we mourn this irreplaceable loss, I extend my heartfelt condolences to his immediate family, the Isale-Agoro quarters, and the 1st Epe Central Mosque.
May Almighty Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, accept his noble deeds, and grant him Aljannah Firdaus,” Rep. Raji prayed.
Alhaji Oladipupo is survived by children, grandchildren, and an extended family who continue to carry the torch of his values.
