Ex-soldier and creator of Fuji music, Alhaji (Dr) Sikiru Olayinka Ololade Ayinde, popularly called Barrister or Alhaji Agba, filtered into town on Thursday, 16 December, 2010, He pioneered the genre and credited for popularizing the Fuji music genre. He died at the age of 62. After his death, report of delayed burial hit the press, we understands that it was wholly due to inability to fly the corpse from the UK as a result of unfavourable weather conditions. Islamic rites demand that he be buried on the same day he died but he was buried on the 30th of December.

The Late Fuji music pioneer also asked that he be buried where he dies but this did not happen as his family insisted that his corpse should be buried ‘where he was a national figure.’ Though one of his sons pushed for his father’s dying wish to be respected.

we also gathers that the family remains indebted to K1 De ultimate and Alhaji Buhari Olot0 – a socialite and huge listener/fan of his music. K1 is reported to have donate over a million naira including paying for his burial tomb while Ebenezer Obey donated the sum of N500,000.
