His younger brother, Funso Olurin, broke the news of his death in Abeokuta on Saturday.

He said that Olurin, who was also appointed the administrator of Ekiti State following the emergency rule imposed on the state after Ayo Fayose was removed in 2006, died after a brief illness.

Olurin, a Field Commander of ECOMOG Peacekeeping Force in Liberia from 1992 to 1993 during the First Liberian Civil War, retired from service in 1993.

He later joined politics and contested to represent the Peoples Democratic Party in the build up to the 2011 governorship election in Ogun State but he lost.
