The large entourage of Oba elect of Odo Nla, Prince Olusoga Olowolekomoh led by Prince Sijuade Hammed Oyebo, also attended the ceremony.
Amid the merrymaking, Jolu Odubena, Akowe Egbe of the Bobajolu Okunrin Akile Ijebuland in his speech, described the late Otunba Osinusi as a “legal luminary and entrepreneur whose wisdom and wise counsel would be missed by both the young and old in the family.”
Otunba Osinusi, according to Odubena, was an articulate, soft-spoken, easy-going enigma with charismatic steps, admired in any attire he wore with catching smiles.
Even as a well-respected practising lawyer of more than six decades, he extends pleasantries to people as equals.
