Leadership reports that Olubolade, who also served as Minister of Police Affairs and Minister of State for the FCT, slumped and d!ed while playing lawn tennis at Apapa, Lagos, on Sunday,May 11.

He hailed from Ekiti State and was 70-year-old, having marked his last birthday on November 30, 2024.

In a statement jointly issued by his first daughter, Oluwayemisi Akinadewo, and first son, Dayo Olubolade, the family disclosed that the retired officer drove himself to a nearby tennis facility and collapsed while playing.
