He died after failing to recover from an undisclosed illness. Punch reports.
His death was announced the death via a message sent by his Personal Assistant, Tunde Samusudeen, public relations officer of Osun United Football Club.
However, Ogunjobi was the chairman of Osun State Football Association, until his death.
Tunde, said Ogunjobi had earlier complained of body pains, and had visited the University College Hospital, Ibadan for a check-up.
He said, “We were together in Ilesa (Osun State) on Thursday for Ijesha Golden Warriors’ 50th anniversary. But on Saturday he called and asked me to represent him at the Osun Sports Writers Association of Nigeria awards night, saying he wasn’t feeling too fine. He then went to UCH for a check-up and I learnt he was admitted on bed rest.
“But I was shocked this morning when his driver called to tell me that he had died. He was aged 65 and is survived by a wife and five children, three boys and two girls.”
