He died this morning at the age of 93.
The death was confirmed in a statement issued on behalf of the family by former First Lady of Kwara State, Mrs. Toyin Ojora-Saraki.
The statement made available to FrontPage reads in part: “With total submission to the will of Almighty Allah (SWT), the Ojora Family of Lagos hereby announces the passing of our beloved patriarch, Otunba Adekunle Ojora, the Otunba of Lagos and Lisa of Ife, who returned to his creator early this morning.
“We say Alhamdulilahi for a life well lived, and we comply with Allah’s words that ‘Surely, to Allah we belong and to Him we will all return’ (Q2: 156).”
The family announced that his remains would be interred according to Islamic rites.
“We urge all members of the public to join us in praying to Allah to grant His servant, who has lived a dignified life, reprieve in the grave and a place in Aljannah Firdaus,” the family appealed.
Ojora is survived by his wife, Erelu Ojuolape Ojora, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
