The socio-cultural organization, Itesiwaju Ikirun, has extended heartfelt condolences to two prominent sons of Ikirunland, Hon. Otunba Abiodun Sarafadeen Awotunde and Hon. Wahab Abiona, following the recent deaths of their close family members.

 

In a statement jointly signed and made available to journalists in Ikirun on Saturday by the group’s President, Alhaji Khalid Ibrahim, and Secretary, Comrade Adebiyi Wasiu, the association described the losses as deeply painful and prayed for divine comfort for the bereaved families.

 

Hon. Awotunde Sarafa recently lost his younger brother, Awotunde Muideen Olalekan. Itesiwaju Ikirun prayed that Almighty Allah grants the deceased eternal rest in Al-Jannah Firdaus and provides the family with the strength to bear the loss.
