It was indeed tear-jerking episode yesterday, the 10th of June
2016, at the Ikoyi Cemetery when the
remains of Adesola Ogunmefun (27) who
was nicknamed ‘Obaomo’ and Olufunmilayo Odusina (24), the two University of
Lagos, UNILAG post-graduate students who drowned at the Elegushi Beach during
their friend’s birthday on June 6, 2016, were finally laid to rest.
The whole atmosphere elicited agony and grief as almost all
who came could not hold back their tears. Though as usual, some of the people
who came share a belief that the death has spiritual connotation, saying the late
brilliant minds were daughters of the river, hence, the unfortunate death, that
however did not stop the torrent of tributes from many more who knew about their born again
status before the final curtain was drawn.

Hafsat Abiola Costello, the daughter of the acclaimed winner
of the June 1993 presidential elections was part of those who spoke about the
dead, especially, Sola Ogunmefun who was a personal Assistant to the Commissioner
of Education, Science & Technology, Ogun State. In her words she says ‘Adesola,
I had the pleasure of meeting you once and It was enough to know what a lovely bright
light you were, rest in peace’
