In a heartbreaking incident in Ogun state, Oba Abraham Bankole, the revered monarch of Onibuku in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area, lost his life after being tragically crushed by a truck on Tuesday.
The unfortunate event occurred when the Olu of Onibuku was alighting from a tricycle, commonly known as Keke Napep, along the Ota-Idiroko Expressway, in close proximity to Winners Chapel. The truck, identified with registration number EPE 252 XF, collided with the traditional ruler, resulting in his untimely death at the scene.
Mr. Adekunle Ajibade, the Sango-Ota Area Commander of the state Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), confirmed the heartbreaking incident in a telephone interview with NAN.
The accident was attributed to the truck driver’s dangerous and reckless driving, according to Ajibade. As a consequence of this tragic event, the lifeless body of the esteemed monarch was taken to the state hospital in Ota.
The loss of Oba Abraham Bankole’s life is a painful reminder of the importance of safe driving practices, and Ajibade stressed the need for motorists to exercise caution and avoid reckless behavior on the roads
