Senator Abiola Ajimobi, former Oyo state governor, is dead, after battling with coronavirus for few days.

ngnews247.com gathered that the ex-governor was confirmed dead on Thursday after the early rumour last week.

Before his death, he was reportedly to be receiving coronavirus treatment for some days after a surgery passed away at the First Cardiology Hospital, Ikoyi.

A credible source told Daily Independent that his family will make a formal announcement on Thursday evening.

“His organs collapsed about a week ago. It is just that the family didn’t want to unplug the life support. May his soul rest in peace,” he said.
