Imam Mustapha-Adewunmi, the Chief Imam of Ilaro Central Mosque and secretary-general of the League of Imams and Alfas in Ogun State, recently made headlines by returning N25 million entrusted to him by the late actor, Taiwo Hassan, better known as Ogogo. Before his death from stage 4 cancer on August 23rd, Ogogo entrusted Imam Mustapha-Adewunmi with the funds to rebuild his grandfather's house.

He documented the transaction and informed Ogogo's family, who agreed to transfer the funds to Ogogo's elder brother's account.
This act of integrity and honor has garnered praise and admiration from the public, earning Imam Mustapha-Adewunmi a reputation as a leader worthy of emulation.
