The body of former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi has been laid after a private ceremony at his Oluyole Estate in Ibadan.
One of his aides, Yanju Adegbite, said only the children and wife of late Senator AJIMOBI, as well as some friends and associates, witnessed the funeral ceremony.
Those who were present include Chief Kola Daisi, Chief Mrs Oluwakemi Akala, Hon. Wunmi Oladeji, Hon. ABASS Aleshinloye, Mr Toye Arulogun, Bimbo Adekanbi.
The burial of late Senator AJIMOBI comes four days after he was confirmed to have died from Covid-19 complications at the age of seventy.
Meanwhile, police men attached to the Oyo State Command have taken over the Agodi GRA residence of late Senator Abiola Ajimobi.
The move is said to be connected to failure to secure the approval of the Oyo State Government for the burial of the former Governor within the compound, due to ownership dispute over the land.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Olugbenga Fadeyi, could not be reached to comment on the matter.
The Oyo State Government which is alleged to have delayed the burial of late Senator AJIMOBI against Islamic rites, has denied the accusations.
