GOVERNOR ADELEKE MOURNS PASSING OF IMMIGRATION CHIEF, DADA

NEWS RELEASE

OSOGBO– 11/08/2025– Osunstate.gov.ng

The Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke has expressed sadness over the passing of an Assistant Comptroller-General of Immigration, Mr. Dada Joseph Olutayo, describing his sudden death as collosal.

Governor Adeleke said the demise of Mr. Dada is a big loss, particularly to the Immigration Service, where his towering service contributed to a safe and secure border, saying his death has denied Osun and Nigeria as a whole the service of a dedicated officer.

The Governor commiserated with the immediate family of the deceased, the Michael Dada Ogunremi family in Ilesa, the Nigeria Immigration Service and everyone touched by the passing of the highly decorated officer.

“I am disheartened to hear about the passing of Mr. Dada Joseph Olutayo, an Assistant Comptroller-General of Immigration. While he was alive, Mr. Dada was a dedicated officer, who showed exemplary patriotism in his line of work,” Governor Adeleke was quoted as saying in a condolence message.

“On behalf of the good people of Osun State, I convey my heartfelt condolences to his immediate family, the Michael Dada Ogunremi family in Ilesa, the Nigeria Immigration Service and everyone touched by this unfortunate loss.

“As much as his passing represents a huge loss, I ask that we should be consoled by the life of impacts that defined Mr. Dada and be persuaded by the legacy of remarkable contributions to national security that his short time here reflects.

Governor Adeleke prays to God Almighty to repose his soul and grant his family, associates and everyone touched by his passing the fortitude to bear the pain, adding that “it is my sincere hope that his good works will not die with him.”

Mallam Olawale Rasheed,
