Former Osun State Commissioner for Health, Lanre Afolabi, has passed away on Friday after a brief illness.
The commissioner who served during the tenure of Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, died in a private hospital in Osogbo on Friday.
According to a source close to the family of the deceased, who preferred anonymity, the former commissioner took ill in his residence in Iree, Osun state late on Thursday.
“He took ill late on Thursday and he was rushed to a hospital in Osogbo. He died around 1:30 on Friday,” the source said.
The chairman, Iree Development Association, Oluwole Taiwo, also confirmed Lanre’s death.
“It is true, but I don’t want to talk now. I may call you back,” he stated.
Lanre is one of the sons of former Deputy Governor in the old Oyo state, Chief Sunday Afolabi, who later served as Minister of Internal Affairs, during the first term of ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.
The ex-commissioner had been quite inactive politically since leaving office in November 2010.
