According to a family statement issued by Oyetola Amosun and published by Nigeria media on Saturday, March 21, 2026, Alhaji Oyesiku passed away on the evening of Friday, March 13, 2026, during the holy month of Ramadan.
The deceased, described as a devoted family man and devout Muslim, had observed Jumu’ah prayer and led the Asr prayer at the White House, Ibara Mosque in Abeokuta earlier that day before his death.
The burial took place in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, in accordance with Islamic rites, attended by close family members, associates, political allies, and sympathisers who gathered to pay their last respects.
“With heavy hearts and total submission to the will of the Almighty Allah, the Sanusi-Amosun family announces the passing of Alhaji Oyesiku Amosun (a.k.a. Sheko), whose sad event occurred on Friday evening, 13 March, 2026. He was aged 65.
“Alhaji Oyesiku Amosun was a devoted family man and a devout Muslim who lived a life of service to the Almighty Allah… Though his passing is deeply painful, particularly coming during this holy month of Ramadan, we take solace in his life of service and in the knowledge that unto Allah we belong and unto Him we shall return.
“May the Almighty Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, grant him Aljannah Firdaus, and grant his wives, children, grandchildren, and the entire Sanusi-Amosun family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.”
In a display of deep family commitment, Senator Ibikunle Amosun reportedly cancelled his planned Umrah pilgrimage to remain in Nigeria and stand with his family during this period of grief. Associates and political allies have described the decision as a reflection of his strong sense of responsibility and attachment to family values.
Condolences have continued to pour in from across political, social, and religious circles, with many praying for strength and comfort for Senator Amosun and the entire family.
