The father of slain Osun political figure Olalekan Oyeyemi, popularly known as Emir Ajagungbade, has shared an emotional account of a promise his son never got to fulfil.
In a video circulating online, the grieving father recalled how Oyeyemi had planned to sponsor his first trip to Mecca for pilgrimage before his life was cut short.
According to the elderly man, his son had explained why the trip had not happened earlier.

He said Oyeyemi wanted him to experience the pilgrimage because he had never been to Mecca.
“He told me he would have gone earlier, but because I had never been to Mecca before, that was the main reason he decided to wait,” he recalled.
The father said his son had already begun making preparations for the trip.
Describing Oyeyemi as a good son who took care of him, the father struggled to understand how his son could be taken away so suddenly.
“Olamilekan was a good son to me. He took very good care of me. I never knew they would kill him just like that,” he said.
Oyeyemi was shot dead on September 13 during violence at the Mayfair Motor Park in Ile-Ife.
The Osun State Police Command said it was investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting and working to identify those responsible.
The bereaved father ended his emotional message with a plea for prayers.
“Please, I want you all to help me pray for him—that God should forgive all his sins and grant him Al-Jannah,” he said.
