Akure North Local Government Area (LGA) of Ondo State has been thrown into mourning following the death of Chairman of the council, Mr Bankole Ogbesetore, and his deputy, Mr Anthony Adebusola.
Adebusola died three days after the death of the Ogbesetore was announced.
This was confirmed on Monday by the state’s immediate past Commissioner for Sports and Youth Development, Saka Ogunleye.

Ogunleye said Adebusola died after a brief illness on Sunday

“It is on a sad note, painful and pathetic that I’m here again to announce the tragic death of our council vice chairman Hon Anthony Adebusola.

“This unfortunate death occurred yesterday after a brief illness. Painful that we lost both our elected council chairman and his amiable loyal vice chairman within one week.

“Like a bad movie, so sad a story. I urge you all to pray for us and the family members the two of them left behind,” he said.

Ogbesetore died last week after battling an undisclosed ailment.

The deceased, a surveyor, had been indisposed for over a year.

Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the acting governor of the state, had paid a condolence visit to the residence of Ogbesetore before the death of his deputy.
