The former local council boss, Barr. Tajudeen Jaiye Alabi, who has since been buried according to Islamic rites, was suspected to have died of a heart attack. The late man’s brother, Abiodun Sadiq Alabi, who spoke to newsmen, said his brother showed no sign of ill health yesterday morning when he set out for the day’s activity, after dropping off his son in his school.

“I am still in shock.
He had hardly taken a spoonful of the meal he ordered when he started shouting ‘my head, my head’ and then slumped on his seat. In fact, the son he dropped off returned from school to meet a crowd of sympathizers at home and couldn’t believe that his father is no more.”

Guardian reported that among the callers at his burial was the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, Chief Henry Ajomale; Commissioner for Home Affairs, Lagos State, Dr. Abdul-Hakeem Abdul-Lateef; chairman of Ejigbo LCDA, Monsuru Obe; president, Rotary Club of Ewutuntun, Victor Olutade Olowo; and former House of Representatives member, Hakeem Abiodun Muniru.

Kehinde Bamigbetan, Lagos State Commissioner for Information and former chairman of Ejigbo LCDA, who said he received the news of Alabi who succeeded him in office at Ejigbo with a heavy heart, in his statement wrote; “My heart and prayers remain with the Alabi family and the people of Ejigbo LCDA in this time of grief”.

The deceased, a legal practitioner, grassroots politician and committed humanitarian, would be remembered for offering free legal service to two journalists attacked by thugs at the secretariat of Sagamu Local Government Area in Ogun State, in November 2012.

  1. Hello there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  2. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

  3. Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appeal. I must say you have done a awesome job with this. Also, the blog loads super quick for me on Internet explorer. Excellent Blog!

  4. Hi there this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  5. Can I just say what a comfort to uncover somebody that truly understands what they’re discussing on the internet. You actually realize how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More people ought to check this out and understand this side of the story. I was surprised you are not more popular since you most certainly possess the gift.
