The body of the late Senator Abiola Ajimobi will be laid to rest on Sunday, June 28.
The late Senator died of multiple organ failure due to COVID-19 complications on Thursday in Lagos.
The burial which had earlier been scheduled to hold last Friday was postponed after consultations with the Lagos and Ogun States governments.
Bolaji Tunji, the special assistant on media to the Senator, announced the new date, adding that COVID-19 guidelines will be adhered to.
“In close consultation with the governments of Lagos and Oyo States, the date for the burial ceremony has been announced. Barring any changes, his body will be interred at the Senator Ishaq Abiola Ajmobi Central Mosque at Oke-Ado, Ibadan at 12 noon on June 28 after the traditional Muslim prayers,” the statement read.
“To ensure that strict COVID-19 protocols are adhered to and in light of the current circumstances of our national health challenges, the family appeals to the public to observe strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols in their participation.
“Furthermore, the details of the live media coverage of the funeral ceremony will be made public by tomorrow.
“In the near future, details of a larger funeral gathering will be announced where a lot more of his well-wishers will have the opportunity to pay him respect.”
