The remains of a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly Abdulsobur Olawale have been buried at Ebony Vaults.
Olawale slumped and died on Tuesday in Jos, Plateau State at the presidential campaign flag-off of the All Progressives Congress.
His remains arrived at the Murtala Mohammed Airport on Wednesday afternoon and was immediately conveyed to his residence in a motorcade that involved Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, lawmakers, Lagos State Legislators Wives Association, friends, family and associates of the deceased.
The body was later moved to the Ebony Vaults where Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, joined the crowd of mourners.
The body was interred according to Islamic rites.
Olawale, known among politicians as Omititi, represented Mushin Constituency II and chaired the House Committee on Local Government and Community Relations.
The assembly had expressed its sadness over the incident in a statement by the chairman, House Committee on Information, Strategy and Security, Setonji David.
“This death really hit us below the belt. We will all miss him more than words can express. We urge you to join us in prayers for his family at this time,” the House said.
