According to the rights activist, his younger brother will be buried on Thursday at his hometown, Kiribo, in Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State.

Sowore made the announcement on Monday.

“My dearest brother and childhood friend, Olajide will be buried on Thursday at our hometown, Kiribo in Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State, at 10am,” the publisher of Sahara Reporters said.
