The eldest son said the family had just concluded arrangements to bury the late National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) chieftain at his country home in Ijebu-Igbo, Ogun State.

He also said the wake would hold on September 17 in his home town, while the service of songs would be held in Lagos, before the interment.

Abimbola urged those willing to join the family for the service to comply with all COVID-19 protocols for all the events.

NAN recalls that the late Durojaiye represented Ogun East at the Senate from 1999 to 2003. He was also a member of the Constituent Assembly from 1988 to 1989.
