Earlier on Thursday, SCOBA organised a funeral procession from the School to St. Benedict Catholic Church, Popo area in Osogbo, in honour of Lagbaja, and students and staff of the school joined the procession.
Lagbaja attended St. Charles Grammar School, Osogbo, and contributed significantly to infrastructural development in the school as a member of the Old Boys Association.
The Catholic Bishop of Osogbo, Most Rev. John Oyejola said Lagbaja lived a life worthy of emulation. He prayed to God to grant him rest and give his family the fortitude to bear the loss.
Oyejola said “I’m happy that he was able to do the things he did for the school. He made the school a beautiful place for others that would come to the school not just to learn in the classrooms but also to participate in sporting activities, acquire skills, and use that to serve the nation.”
“I charge everybody to emulate him. Don’t delay, please. Time waits for nobody. Thank God he did what he did. And it’s going to be there forever.
He has made an impact and everyone can see it. It would be there for many years to come. So, it’s good for everyone to learn,” Oyejola stated.
