Kwara former commissioner buried

Date: 2012-02-27

Former Kwara State Commissioner for Information Olatunji Oladepo was buried at the weekend at his Erin-Ile country home. He was 56.

The funeral service took place at the First Baptist Church in Ibolos.

The ace journalist died two weeks ago in Abuja after a brief illness.

His funeral was attended by former Deputy Governor Simeon Sayomi and his wife; former Attorney-General of the State, Chief Titus Ashaolu; Bishop David Abioye; Mr. Dare Babarinsa; and the Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of The Nation newspapers Mr. Victor Ifijeh.

Ifijeh said: "It is difficult to speak about my friend. Oladepo was an accomplished journalist, a man who distinguished himself wherever he worked. He distinguished himself at the National Concord and the people at the helms of affairs recognised him as a budding talent. At NewsWatch he distinguished himself as a reporter and writer of repute. This earned him the sobriquet 'investigator, policeman, SSS' that became his second name.

"He was very simple. He shuned an ostentatious lifestyle. He served government with dignity, honesty and fear of God. 

"He left the commissioner-position untainted while many of his colleagues were hounded by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for one misdemeanor or the other."
