The remains of Senator Buruji Kashamu have been laid to rest according to Islamic rites.

At exactly 12:50pm, the body of the former Ogun East Senator was lowered into the grave.

Kashamu was buried at his Ijebu-Igbo residence in Ogun State.

During the burial, hordes of sympathisers assembled at Ijebu-Igbo to pay their last respect to the chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Most people were seen crying profusely as they were yet to come to terms with the sudden death of the man, who they described as a cheerful giver and philanthropist.
