The remains of the late Chief of Protocol to Governor Akeredolu, Tosin Ogunbodede, Esq, has arrived Owo, his hometown in order to commence preparations for his burial.
The Commissioner for Information and Orientation in Ondo State, Donald Ojogo, made this known in a press release on Sunday.
Ojogo said the late lawyer died in a ghastly car crash after a private visit to an uncle in Ibadan who has been ill for sometime on Saturday, January 2.
“The remains of the Chief of Protocol will arrive Owo Local Government Area, his hometown today.
“This is necessary in order to commence preparations for his burial without further delay.
“Ogunbodede discharged his assigned duties with utmost attention and responsibility. Until his untimely death, he had been a very loyal political lieutenant of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN over the years.
“For Governor Akeredolu, this is a personal loss. It becomes more emotional when it’s recalled that the loyal and dedicated Tosin stopped by at the Governor’s Law Hub, Ibadan, to greet his Principal while returning to Akure from his uncle’s residence.
“Even with a heavy heart, Governor Akeredolu enjoins all to take solace in the fact of God’s infallibility-He Giveth and Taketh. This is just as he expresses the heartfelt condolence of his immediate family, Government and the good people of Ondo State to the wife, children as well as the family of his late CoP.
“The Ondo State Government shall unveil burial plans after due consultations with the family of the deceased,” he said.
