Tunji Bolaji, the spokesperson to the late politician had announced in a statement on Friday, June 26, 2020, that the ex-governor’s body would be buried on Sunday, June 28, 2020, at the Senator Ishaq Abiola Ajimobi Central Mosque, Oke-Ado, Ibadan by 12 pm.

But the management of the mosque had argued that the body could not be buried in the mosque premises because it is against Islamic injunctions.
