Murdered Newswatch Editor Buried In Lagos

The remains of the late Assistant Editor, Saturday Newswatch, Oluwatoyin Obadina, has been interred at his Adamo, Ikorodu residence yesterday, after a short funeral service.

The funeral service, officiated by the pastors of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Lagos Province 21, Zone 9, Master Key Parish, was a moment of reflection on purpose here on earth and the hereafter.

Pastor Johnson Osakwe, who gave the sermon, exhorted people to live a meaningful life, mindful of the hereafter. “Live your life with the consciousness of where you are going to. I enjoin anyone here that has not accepted Jesus Christ to his/her live to do so,” he urged.

Meanwhile, the Bible reading of the funeral was taken by the first daughter of the deceased, Ayomide Obadina, after which a brief biography of the late Assistant Editor was read out by the elder brother, Oluyinka Obadina, detailing where he was born, educational pursuits and married life.

After the body of the late journalist was interred, the Editor of Sunday Newswatch, Mr. Olanrewaju Oyetade, gave a testimony on the kind of man the late Obadina was.
Oyetade went on to restate the commitment of the Group Managing Director (GMD) of Energy Group and Publisher of Newswatch Newspapers, Dr. Jimoh Ibrahim, to the family of the deceased.
