Jeremiah Olatunji Otegbeye (14 July 1925 – 9 October 2009) was a Nigerian politician, trade unionist and medical doctor.
[6] Otegbeye led a youth and students protest against the Anglo-Nigerian Defense Pact on 28 November 1960, during which the House of Representatives was stormed.
However, he and S. O. Martins (of the Nigerian-Soviet Friendship Society) were arrested in June 1969 as they returned from having attended the International Meeting of Communist and Workers Parties in Moscow.
The Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Leonid Ilichev made a visit to Lagos, after which Otegbeye was released.
After his death, many prominent personalities paid tribute to him, including former president Olusegun Obasanjo and the governors of the Ogun, Edo and Ekiti states.
