The elder statesman died on February 14 at the age of 96.

The wake will follow on May 2 at Pa Ayo Adebanjo’s country home in Isanya Ogbo, near Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.

The main funeral service is scheduled for May 3 at St. Phillips Anglican Church in the same location, with a thanksgiving service to conclude the events on May 4.
