The state’s Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Doland Ojogo, confirmed the development in a statement in Akure, the state capital.
“It was received with great shock and disbelief,” he said.
The former caretaker committee chairman in Ondo East local government area of the state, Wale Akinlosotu, also confirmed Ademodi’s death.
