It is indeed a time of grief for members and staff of the Lagos State House of Assembly led by Speaker Mudashiru Obasa as they received the body of Hon. Abdul-Sobur Olayiwola Olawale, who passed on in Jos, Plateau State on Tuesday.

The body of the deceased arrived at the Murtala Mohammed Airport at noon on Wednesday and was immediately taken to his residence via a motorcade that involved Dr. Obasa, lawmakers, the Lagos State Legislators Wives Association (LASLEWA), friends, family, and associates of the deceased.

The deceased was later moved to the Ebony Vaults where Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, joined the crowd of mourners.

The body was interred according to Islamic rites.

Naija News recalls that the Lagos State House of Assembly had on Tuesday announced the demise of the lawmaker, who, until his passing represented Mushin Constituency 2 and chaired the House Committee on Local Government and Community Relations.

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,” a statement signed by Hon. Setonji David, Chairman, House Committee on Information, Strategy and Security, said.
