Chaos erupted at Adeleke’s funeral on Monday when a group of youths crashed a canopy on Governors Ibikunle Amosun and Rotimi Akeredolu of Ogun and Ondo states respectively.

The youths were trying to attack an incoming commissioner, Idiat Babalola.

Babalola was eventually escorted out of the venue by Amosun and his security aides.
