Sadly, Ogun State has lost one of its shining stars to the cold hands of death.
A driver identified as Evans Abifade was said to have killed a 27-year-old travel consultant, Oluwatobiloba Bukola Fisayomi Arike, in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State.
It was gathered that the deceased was on her way to buy food near Agro Bus Stop, via Ojodu-Berger, in Akute on Wednesday afternoon, June 3, 2024, when the speeding car struck her, killing her on the spot.
The driver was apprehended by an angry crowd and handed over to the police, while the young woman’s lifeless body was wrapped in a polythene bag by officers from the Ajuwon Police Station and transported to the mortuary.
Meanwhile, family and friends have called on the Ogun State Police Command and Governor Dapo Abiodun to investigate the gruesome killing of the National Open University graduate.
However, the family fears that justice may not be served as the police might release the reckless driver without proper prosecution.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, July 4, a friend of the deceased wrote that the police is yet to release a statement concerning her death.

“The police refused to take a statement from us but granted the driver who killed you his wish of going to the hospital for treatment.
“More than 24 hours now, and no statement about your gruesome death. The Nigerian Police is the failure that keeps failing.””
