A former Editor of the defunct Sunday Sketch, Chief Mike Omoleye is dead.

Aged 85, Chief Omoleye died in his Ibadan residence located off Ring Road and behind new Adeoyo General Hospital few days ago.

He was born in Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, on January 26, 1940, and began his meritorious career in journalism over six decades ago.

High Chief Tola Adeniyi, a veteran journalist confirmed the death of Chief Omoleye in a post on Tuesday.

After voluntarily retiring from the Sketch newspapers in 1977, Chief Omoleye set up a flourishing commercial press which he made available to several private newspapers in Ibadan and environs.

Chief Omoleye also authored several books, including the popular “The Awo I knew”.

Other titles in his stable were books on Kabala and spiritual and esoteric subjects.

Chief Mike Omoleye worked his way through journalism to national recognition and relevance and through his foray into Kabala confraternity earned international renown.

A very close associate of Obafemi Awolowo the Avatar, and Justice Adewale Thompson, Chief Omoleye contributed a lot, behind the scenes, to Yoruba emancipation.

He was a very active member of the Yoruba Council of Elders and a much respected League of Veteran Journalists.

Reacting to the death of Chief Mike Omoleye, Chief Tola Adeniyi said : “A great and pioneering Mind has passed.

“By his passage, Journalism has lost an iconic light.

“May his gallant and pioneering soul rest in peace.”
