THE Ilobu-Asake Development Union, the umbrella body of all sons and daughters of Ilobu, is greatly shocked by the untimely demise of a great member of the Union, Lieutenant General Taoreed Abiodun Lagbaja.

The death of Lt Gen. Lagbaja is indeed a devastating one to all of us as it came at a time when his service and leadership are much needed for the development of our community, Osun State and Nigeria at large.

We take solace in the legacy of service, gallantry, diligence and commitment to Nigeria, he left behind.

In lieu of the sad development, the National Executive of IDU has announced immediate suspension of all ongoing activities marking the 2024 Ilobu Day Celebration, announcement of a new date for the event shall be made later.

We call on Nigerians to remember the immediate family of Lt Gen. Lagbaja, Ilobu Community and the Nigeria Army in prayers as we mourn the transition of our son.

Signed
Pastor Olufemi Salako
