Why There Are Doubts Over Ajimobi’s Burial On Sunday

Eniola Ajayi

Insiders disclosed that though a date has been announced, the factors that forced the delay in the burial of former governor Abiola Ajimobi are yet to be put to rest.

There are said to be underground intrigues over finding out the true cause of his death in the face of conspiracy theory and struggle for where he should be buried.

The statement by media aide Bolaji Tunji is described as ‘’forcing’’ a resolution.

But the wording of the press statement has, however, fueled doubts over the burial scheduled for Sunday, June 28, 2020.

The statement read in part ‘’ “Barring any changes, his body will be interred at the Senator Ishaq Abiola Ajimobi Central Mosque at Oke Ado, Ibadan, at noon on Sunday, June 28 after the traditional Muslim prayers.’’.

‘’Barring any changes means the arrangement is iron cast, that it is subject to change’’ a source pointed out.

The checks by Societynow.ng, however, revealed that away from the talks of doubts and behind the scene intrigues, preparation towards burying the former governor on Sunday by those advocating the move is ongoing.

The death of the former Governor of Oyo Sate was announced on Thursday, June 25, 2020.

He died from Covid-19 complications that resulted in multiple organ failure.
