Family members, political associates, friends, and sympathizers gathered at the Al-Sunna Cemetery in Olomore, Abeokuta, to pay their final respects and witness the dust-to-dust rites, which marked the end of Alhaji Adejojo’s earthly journey.
The burial, which drew a large crowd from within and outside the state, was characterized by solemn prayers and heartfelt tributes in honor of the late patriarch, who was described as a humble, disciplined, and God-fearing man who lived a life of service to humanity.
In their sermons, Muslim clerics expressed deep sorrow over his passing and urged the family to take solace in the will of Allah. They prayed for the repose of his soul and asked Almighty Allah to forgive his shortcomings and grant him eternal rest in Al-Jannah Firdaus.
The clerics also reminded sympathizers of the inevitability of death and the importance of leading lives worthy of emulation, emphasizing that good deeds and righteous living are the only lasting legacies one can leave behind.
Speaking on behalf of the family, Hon. Yusuf Adejojo expressed profound gratitude to all who came to commiserate with them during their moment of grief. He pledged that the family would uphold and continue the noble legacies of their late father, describing him as a source of inspiration and moral guidance to all who knew him.
