Daniel Olorunfumi Fagunwa, popularly known as D. O. Fagunwa, the Bogunbolu of Okeigbo in his days, wrote many novels that lay emphasis on the supernatural giving the impression that he is not an ordinary man. Recently, his widow, Mrs Elizabeth Adebanke Fagunwa, lent her voice to this, describing the circulated myth as the imagination of some people. His resting place is still there, so the myth about his body disappearing was only an imagination of some people. “He travelled around the country advertising Heinemann books to schools and also searching for great writers like him. Though, all efforts to see the priest proved abortive, a security guard within the church premises identified the final resting place of Fagunwa.
