Former Ifako/Ijaiye LG Chairman, Toba Oke, Passes Away
Special Apostle Oloruntoba Oke, a former chairman of Ifako/Ijaiye Local Government in Lagos State, and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has passed away at the age of 65.
Oke was reportedly rushed to the hospital on Friday, February 7, 2025, due to complications from diabetes. Despite efforts to stabilise him, he passed away on Sunday, February 9.
A two-term local government chairman, Oke had battled the disease for several years before his demise.
Before venturing into politics, he worked with African Independent Television (AIT) and was once associated with veteran musician, Sir Shina Peters during the ‘Asiko Youth’ era.

News of his passing has left residents in shock, with many mourning the loss of a leader, who played a pivotal role in the community’s growth.
