The remains of Timothy Adegoke, a Postgraduate student of Obafemi Awolowo University who was allegedly murdered in an hotel in Ile Ife have been buried.
His remains were brought to the Eruwa Town Hall in a white casket with hundreds of youths in procession.
InsideOyo.com gathered that a candlelight procession was held yesterday night.
The body of the accountant was buried beside the house he built for his parents in the New Eruwa part of Eruwa town.
Eruwa is the headquarters of the Ibarapa East Local Government Area of Oyo State.
Family members, friends and beneficiaries of the deceased’s acts of kindness wept sore during the brief service conducted by Revd. Michael Hungbenu, the founder of Celestial Deliverance Church of Christ.
The grieving widow of the deceased, Bolatito, wept uncontrollably and refused to leave the graveside despite pleas that she should step aside.
She shouted the name of her late husband and reminded the dead of the sweet times they had together while she hurled curses on the killers of her husband.
She said the killers did not allow her husband to bury his parents and became inaudible at a time after she had screamed for long.
Service of tributes was first held at the Eruwa Town Hall where hundreds of youths, members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, and OAU students, among others had gathered.
Speaker after speaker paid glowing tributes to the deceased while his kinsmen recalled his good deeds in a tearful atmosphere.
His brother, Gbade urged those present to support them to ensure that justice is served in the case which is already in court.
Earlier, the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Adebo Ogundoyin, and other dignitaries on Saturday, gathered at the Eruwa Town Hall in the state and paid last respects to Timothy Adegoke.
The widow of the deceased, Bolatito, dressed in a white dress with a cap of the Celestial Church of Christ and her three children are also in attendance.
Members of the National Association of Nigerian Students, OAU students, members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, and other categories of youths in attendance also paid tributes to the deceased.
