As against the widely circulated news of the cause of death of chairman of Onigbongbo local council development area, Hon Babatunde Oke, the new information at our disposal has pointed otherwise.
In a release made available to Freelanews, the chief press secretary of the council, Ishmaeel Akerele, has debunked the rumour that the late chairman died of COVID-19.
“Sequel to the widespread rumour that Hon. Babatunde Oke died of COVID-19 complications, I wish to state emphatically that the former executive chairman of Onigbongbo LCDA died after a brief illness.
“While we reflect on the passing of a great leader and astute politician, rumour mongers must not use this medium to distract his immediate families and political associates from the peaceful mourning the late Hon. Babatunde Oke deserves.
“I pray that almighty God grant his household the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
“And may his soul rest in peace as we continue to reflect on the life and times of late Hon. Babatunde Oke,” he wrote.
RIP.
