21-years old Owolabi was killed last Monday in the crossfire between the protesting members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) and men of the Nigerian police.
He was a member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) posted to serve with the Channels Television.
Speaking to The Nation at their Zaria home before the burial on Thursday, Mrs. Owolabi said, her son was a well behaved, cultured and easy-going.
According to her, “He loved his books. If you are looking for him, just go to his room, you will meet him either reading or writing.
“He use to tell us, he would become famous in life, but I never thought he meant to say, he would be famous in death.”
