When Olowolekomoh buried mother in style

The Oba-elect of Odo Nla kingdom-Ikorodu, Lagos, Prince Olusoga Olowolekomoh on Tuesday hosted a grand funeral for his mother, Alhaja Falilat Titilayo Olowolekomoh, died on 13 February. She was 75.

The Fidua prayers was a carnival at the Soga Lekomoh event centre, Majidun, Ikorodu, Lagos. In attendance were dignitaries from far and wide, including the royal entourage of the Ayangburen of Ikorodu, Oba Kabiru Shotobi; the Fidipote Ruling House (Idewon Quarters) of Ijebu Ode, Ogun State; and Olootu Oba Meta, Chief Ekiyoyo.
