Sad! Boat carrying Olu of Epe's son & APC Epe LGA candidate capsizes as they returned from election monitoring.

A boat carrying a director in the Ministry of Chieftaincy affairs Aremo Azeez Adewale, who is also the first son of Olu of Epe, Oba Sefiu Olatunji Adewale and and Muiz Bello, a local government chairman, APC Epe candidate, capsized this afternoon as the men and others returned from a riverine area in Epe where they had gone for election monitoring. Mourners have thronged the Olu's palace in to sympathize with him.
The prince has since been buried according to Muslim rites at his house in Isasi, Epe. May their souls rest in peace, amen.
