He described late Adedayo as one of the most illustrious sons of Akure Kingdom.
According to the statement: “Akure community is grieved at this moment but we are consoled with the fact and assurances that he lived a fulfilling life no matter how short.
“His Majesty urges all Akure sons and daughters to continue to support and remember his immediate family in their prayers.”
