Mr Saka Ogunleye, the immediate past Commissioner for Sports and Youth Development confirmed the death of Adebusole on Monday.
He said Adebusole died after a brief illness.
Ogunleye described the death of the two frontline officers of the local government as tragic, sudden and painful to the people of the local council.
According to him, “It is on a sad note, painful and pathetic that I’m here again to announce the tragic death of our council vice chairman Hon Anthony Adebusola,”
“This unfortunate death occurred yesterday after a brief illness. Painful that we lost both our elected council chairman and his amiable loyal vice chairman within one week.
