The party specifically urged the National Security Adviser (NSA), the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and other relevant security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.

Where Light Met Legacy: Osun Publishers Hold Candlelight Tribute for Adesoji Omosebi

 

_As Olowu Kuta, OOPA Condole, Support Burial Arrangements_




The Osun Online Publishers Association (OOPA) under the leadership of Mukhtar Ajelogbon on Thursday night held a solemn Special Valedictory Service and Candlelight Vigil in honour of its late former chairman, Adesoji Omosebi, publisher of SOJ Worldwide News, celebrating a life defined by unity, service, and journalistic excellence.


The special remembrance took place opposite at the deceased residence, Ogo-Oluwa, Osogbo, where colleagues, family members, neighbours , Church members and friends gathered to pay their last respects and reflect on the enduring legacy of the media icon.



Late Omosebi, who passed away on December 7, 2025, was remembered as a bridge builder, a man whose leadership style emphasised collaboration over rivalry and collective progress over personal glory.


Speaking during the vigil, his son shared touching testimonies gathered from close associates of his late father, describing him as someone who believed that “winning alone was boring,” a philosophy that guided his approach to leadership and journalism.






Delivering a brief sermon, Apostle Henry Ojo urged members of OOPA to uphold and sustain Omosebi’s legacy, noting that the late publisher deliberately built his media brand to outlive him and serve as a platform for unity and truth. He also charged members to remain close to the Omosebi family


Speaking during the candlelight service, OOPA Chairman, Mukhtar Ajelogbon who announced a token financial support to the burial arrangement on behalf of the association as a sign of solidarity, also delivered a royal support and recognition from the association Patron, His Royal Majesty, Oba (Dr) Adekunle Oyelude Makama (CON) the Olowu of Kuta, sent a condolence message and finance support to the family towards the burial arrangements.


Meanwhile, the remains of Adesoji Omosebi are expected to be released from the morgue today, ahead of his final interment scheduled for Saturday, January 24, 2026, at his residence in Ibadan, Oyo State.


As candles flickered into the night, one message echoed clearly among colleagues and mourners alike: Adesoji Omosebi may be gone, but his ideals, vision, and commitment to a united press community will endure.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
