It was a solemn atmosphere on Tuesday at the Oshodi-Isolo local government secretariat as the council chairman, Otunba Kehinde Almaroof Oloyede led cabinet members, management staff and political associates for a prayer session for the late deputy chief of staff to the local government, Hon Goke Oguntulu.
It would be recalled that Oguntulu was shot on Friday and eventually died from wound sustained from the unfortunate incident on Sunday.
His body has been deposited at the Isolo General Hospital.
Otunba Oloyede who has been in pensive mood since the demise of his deputy chief of staff disclosed that he specifically called for the prayer session to beseech God almighty to grant the deceased peaceful sojourn as he departs the world while also praying against such in the local government, the party and the entire state at large.
He commiserated once again with all the political office holders, management staff and family of the deceased, stressing that prayer is key in every human endeavours.
Prophet Ayomide Michael who led the prayer session posited that no matter the situation, human being should endeavor to praise God.
He averred that it has pleased God to call the deceased to his side and that though such will be painful to his loved ones, but that the will of God will ultimately prevail.
He supported his assertion with the Holy Book, quoting proverbs chapter 3 verse 3
The Celestial prophet led the prayer session and rebuked any of such unfortunate incident in the council.
The vice chairman of the local government, Hon Islamiyat Modupe Badmus-Aregbe equally led the Islamic aspect of the prayer and also asked God to grant the soul of the deceased Aljana Firdaous, while she beseech almighty Allah to continue to preserve, protect and guide those living.
She recited several verses of the Quran to back up her prayer too.
The prayer session was joined by the council manager, council Treasurer, Secretary to the local government, supervisory councilors, heads of departments and political class
