Dapo Ojora, second son of the boardroom guru Adekunle Ojora, has been buried in Lagos.
The funeral service was held on Tuesday at the Cathedral Church of Christ, Lagos.
Dapo, fondly called Baba Polo and Dog Whisperer, died after a shooting incident at his Ikoyi, Lagos home.
His remains were ferried in a see-through hearse to the church where they were received by younger brother Adeyinka Ojora.
The service was coordinated by Very Rev. Adebola Ojofeitimi who was assisted by many other clergy men.
Proceedings began with the arrival of Dapo’s wife Patricia, their children, sister Toyin Saraki and her husband Senator Bukola Saraki which was immediately followed by the singing of the opening hymn ‘God Moves In A Mysterious Way.’
The soulful service witnessed a wondrous solo rendition of ‘Abide With Me’ by Joseph Oparamanuike after which came a sermon.
Tears rolled down when Dapo’s remains were lowered to the ground at the Vaults and Gardens, Ikoyi, Lagos.
He was buried in a vault just beside elder brother Adegboyega Ojora who died nine years ago.
The event was attended by members of the Ojora family, Saraki family, Peter Obi, Atedo Peterside, Bimbo Ogunbanjo, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, Mary Inegbese, Lady Maiden Ibru, the Akinkugbe family, Ade Laoye, Bayo Amusan, Lekan Bakare, representatives of Oba of Lagos and Oniru of Ireland.
Toyin Saraki in an emotional piece on Instagram, she prayed for the peace of God to abide with him till they meet again.
“Dapo, May His peace be with you till we meet again
May His peace be with you till we meet again
Till we reach that distant shore
And we’ll shed a tear no more
May He give you strength to endure
Till we meet again
“May His love be with you till we meet again
May His love be with you till we meet again
Till we reach that promised land
And we’ll walk hand in hand
May He give you strength to stand
Till we meet again” she wrote.
