Tears as man allegedly killed by Lawyer wife is buried in Gbongan

Emotions ran high as the hearse, bearing the white casket of the deceased popularly called Lowo, approached St. Paul’s Cathedral Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Oke Osun Diocese, Gbongan around 10.45 am. Relatives, friends and well wishers could not hold back their tears when they sighted the casket, bearing the remains of the deceased, being carried out of the hearse by pall bearers. Donning black customised T-Shirts, with the pictures of Lowo and inscription tagged “Justice4Lowo,” some of his family members, relatives and friends, who could not control their emotions rolled on the floor, shouting the name of the deceased. Delivering his sermon, entitled “The Greatest Question of Life,” the officiating clergy, Venerable Paul. O. Farotimi, who is the Dean of the Cathedral said “people have asked the question why during moments of disappointment, sorrow and disaster,” saying that “we may ask ourselves why death killed Lowo at this time.” Quoting from the scriptures in the book of Matthew, chapter 27, verse 2, he said “life is a cycle. Life is a stage, we all play our part and leave the stage. Lowo left the stage when the ovation was the loudest. He left as a hero. There are many whys in this life that remained unanswered.” Farotimi continued, “since this unfortunate incident, we have asked the question why did his wife killed him. Why did he go back and sleep in the house after the quarrel had been settled.” While urging the family of Ajanaku to immortalise the name of Oyelowo so that generations yet unborn would know him and his far reaching impacts, the clergy maintained that “the death of Lowo tells us that we can die at anytime, anywhere and anyhow. We have to prepare to meet our saviour. Situations like this should make us think about our life.” After the end of the church service, the body of the deceased was later interred at St Paul’s Cathedral cemetery, situated along Gbongan-Osogbo road. Dignitaries at the funeral service include the family members, friends, relatives and business partner of Lowo, Mr Mikkel, wife of the Olufi of Gbongan, Dr (Mrs) Magareth Ronke Oyeniyi, Professor Tunde Makanju, Justice Bolarinwa Babalakin, who was represented by his personal assistant, members of Gbongan Progressive Union, among others.
