[RIP BABA] Arisekola Alao dies at 69

PROMINENT  businessman and Islamic leader, Alhaji AbdulAzeez Arisekola Alao, the Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland and Deputy President-General of NSCIA is dead. 

According to Khadija, his eldest daughter, Arisekola Alao, died on Wednesday at the age of 69.

Governor Abiola Ajimobi has described the death of the Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, Alhaji Abdul-Azeez Arisekola Alao, as tragic, disheartening and a big blow, not only to Oyo State but also to the entire country.

The governor stated this in a statement issued in Ibadan on Wednesday by his Special Adviser on Media, Dr. Festus Adedayo.

He said that he received the news of the death of the business mogul and religious leader with shock and disbelief, saying that the passage of Alhaji Arisekola-Alao marked the end of an era in the history of the state.

“Aare cannot die as those who lived the kind of life he lived, with imprints in the lives of millions of people, never die. He lived a life that was devoted to the lives of others. It is indeed the end of an era for us in Ibadan and Nigeria in general,” the governor said.
