The cause of the death of the medical veteran who hailed from Ondo Town in Ondo West Local Government Area of Ondo State was, however, not made public in the statement released on Friday night by the Yoruba group.

In its condolence message, the Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide described Adegoke as a man of unquestionable character.
The group’s spokesman, Maxwell Adeleye said the deceased was resolute and committed towards the decommissioning of Nigerian’s 1999 Constitution.
Adeleye recalled that Adegoke spent his last years working for the advancement and liberation of Yorubas.
He said: “He was an unparalleled patriot of the Yoruba people and an intellectual giant whose courage and candour goes beyond the cosmos”.
The body, led by Professor Banji Akintoye, sympathized with the Adegokes and prayed that God will give them the fortitude to bear the loss.
