Amuwo-Odofin Council Manager Dies in India After Prolonged Illness

The Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area in Lagos State has been thrown into mourning following the death of its Council Manager, Bakare Olakunle Olanrewaju, who passed away in India after a prolonged illness.

Olanrewaju reportedly died after battling a cancer-related illness, for which he had been receiving treatment abroad. His passing brings an end to a long period of health challenges that had kept him away from active administrative duties in recent times.

Although official details surrounding his death remain limited, sources within the council confirmed that the late administrator had been undergoing medical care in India before his demise.

His death has triggered an outpouring of grief from colleagues, associates, and residents, many of whom described him as a dedicated, calm, and efficient public servant who played a vital role in the smooth running of the local government.
