The late Oyelowo, who was killed at the age of 38, was the only brother of the Presiding Pastor/General Overseer of the Pentecostal Fellowship Assembly (PFA), Julius Olaolu Orowumi.
In a statement, Pastor Orowumi said as part of activities lined up for the burial, service of songs would be held in his honour on Wednesday, February 24, 2016, at Pentecostal Fellowship Assembly (PFA), at 103, Iju Road, Ajilete Bus Stop, Ifako-Agege, Lagos, by 5.00p.m.
He said the family took the decision to bury him since the police had concluded their investigations and post mortem done.
The burial service will be held at St Paul’s Cathedral Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) Oke Osun Diocese, Gbongan, Osun State.
Interment will follow immediately after a brief church service at the Church Cemetery, Oke-Elu, Gbongan, Osun State.
Oyelowo was allegedly stabbed to death by his wife Yewande, a 28-year-old lawyer, who worked with the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) in the Oyo State Ministry of Justice, after a domestic dispute at their home in Akobo Estate, in Ibadan, on February 2, 2016.
The matter has been transferred from the Magistrate’s Court to the state High Court and the first hearing was on Wednesday, February 17, 2016, where the Chief Judge of Oyo State presided over the sitting.
At the hearing, the family of Oyelowo, through their lawyer, had prayed the court for FIAT, that for there to be justice to all stakeholders in the case, it would be fair and appropriate for impartial independent legal practitioners to prosecute the case on behalf of the government of Oyo State.
The family premised its request on the fact that the accused herself was a legal officer, not only in the Ministry of Justice, but also an officer in the Directorate of Public Prosecution that is lawfully vested with handling cases like that.
