Oriyomi Remilekun, a vibrant and spirited prophet based in Lagos, met a tragic fate during what was supposed to be a joyous beach outing in Ajah to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year. Oriyomi, known for his fun-loving nature, took the initiative to organize the event for a group of youths from his church at the picturesque Avista Beach on February 17.
As the day unfolded, laughter and merriment filled the air as Oriyomi and his companions enjoyed the festivities against the backdrop of the serene shoreline. However, as evening descended, the atmosphere turned solemn when Oriyomi was suddenly nowhere to be found. Despite the frantic efforts of his friends and fellow church members, Oriyomi remained elusive, casting a pall of worry and apprehension over the gathering.
The group’s attempts to locate Oriyomi proved futile, prompting them to extend their search into the night. However, as darkness enveloped the beach, their efforts seemed to yield no results. With heavy hearts and lingering uncertainty, Oriyomi’s companions reluctantly departed from the beach, their minds plagued by unanswered questions and a sense of unease.
The following morning, the somber reality of Oriyomi’s disappearance persisted as his friends returned to the beach, their resolve undeterred as they continued their search.

It wasn’t until Monday that the heartbreaking truth was revealed when Oriyomi’s lifeless body was discovered washed ashore at a different beach in the community. The news sent shockwaves through the community, eliciting an outpouring of grief and sorrow from those who knew him.
The Avista Beach management, upon learning of the tragedy, expressed concern over the delayed reporting of Oriyomi’s disappearance to the authorities, highlighting the need for swift action in such distressing circumstances.
In the wake of Oriyomi’s untimely passing, tributes and condolences flooded social media platforms, with friends and acquaintances sharing fond memories of the jovial prophet whose infectious laughter and vibrant spirit touched the lives of many.
Despite efforts to shed light on the circumstances surrounding Oriyomi’s demise, lingering questions and uncertainties shroud the tragic incident in Ajah.
