According to the statement, the late Anthony Adeosun lived "a life devoted to God, family and service." The family requested privacy as they mourn what they described as "our irreplaceable loss" and expressed gratitude to those who had offered prayers, condolences and support. Funeral and Christian burial arrangements are expected to be announced later.
