A Night of Remembrance: Candlelight Procession Held in Ibadan
In a solemn gathering, the Ibadan community came together last night for a moving candlelight procession in memory of the late Mr. Adesoji Adeosun, affectionately known as S.O.J. This heartfelt tribute began at Sango Roundabout and gracefully wended its way through the city streets to the University of Ibadan Gate, illuminating the night with a profound sense of unity and shared sorrow.

He was shot by a DSS official, a devastating incident that has left a significant void in the hearts of his family, friends, and the entire community.
Participants carried lit candles, reflecting on the life of S.O.J. The soft glow of the candles not only lit up the path but also symbolized the enduring light he brought into the lives of those who knew him. As they walked, many shared stories and memories, reminiscing about his contributions as a dedicated member of the Oyo State Bouncers and Bodybuilders.
The event culminated at the University of Ibadan Gate, where a brief ceremony was held. Speakers shared their memories of Mr. Adeosun, highlighting his positive impact on the community and the legacy he leaves behind. The evening was a beautiful display of community spirit, showcasing the deep respect and love for S.O.J.
This candlelight procession was not just a tribute but a testament to the strength and resilience of the Ibadan community. As they continue to mourn, they also celebrate the life of a man who was a beacon of strength and dedication. The memory of Adesoji Adeosun will forever remain in the hearts of those he touched.
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
