The remains of Deji Tinubu, Special Adviser to the Governor of Lagos State on Commerce and Industry was buried on Tuesday at the Vaults and Gardens, Ikoyi, Lagos.
Recall that Tinubu slumped and died last Thursday while playing a novelty football match in Epe, during the retreat of the Lagos State Executive Council.

At the Vaults and Gardens where Tinubu was buried, well-wishers, friends and others were in tears as the late sports icon was laid to rest.
Amosun eulogised Tinubu and lamented that he died on his birthday.
Also speaking, Dangote said late Tinubu would “surely be missed.”
