Agbaje, who said he had few words to say on the demise of his son, said the family in faith, has handed the monumental loss over to God.

“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.

John Olubunmi Agbaje attended elementary school at Corona School Ikoyi and high school at Atlantic Hall, Lagos.

He proceeded to  Ampleforth College, North Yorkshire, England for his A levels, and  initially started university at  the University of Plymouth.

He later  transferred to and completed his undergraduate studies at University of West of England (Bristol) with post graduate studies at The University of Birmingham.

He was a marketing manager with multiple consumer packaged goods companies in Nigeria and Canada before his death.(NAN)
