The Ojora family of Lagos has announced the passing of their patriarch, Otunba Adekunle Ojora, the Olori Omo Oba of Lagos, who died early Wednesday morning at the age of 93.
The family said he will be buried in Lagos according to Islamic rites and called on members of the public to pray for his soul.
In a statement signed by Mrs Toyin Ojora-Saraki, the family said Ojora passed away “in full submission to the will of Almighty Allah (SWT).”
“We say Alhamdulilahi for a life well lived, and we comply with Allah’s words: ‘Surely, to Allah we belong, and to Him we will all return’” (Q2:156).
“He is survived by his lovely wife, Erelu Ojuolape Ojora, his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren,” the statement added.
