Agbaje, who said he had few words to say on the demise of his son, revealed that the family in faith has handed the monumental loss over to God.
He said: “His mother and I, indeed the entire extended family, cannot describe our pains.
“The shock is still there, but in all, we give in to the will of God.
“We cannot question God and we know He alone will help us to heal with time.”
Olubunmi, fondly known as Funtime, reportedly died of cardiac arrest.
