One of the sons of former Oyo State
governor, Rasheed Ladoja, died yesterday Thursday May 29th in a fatal auto accident on Eko Bridge. Adebola Ladoja, who was driving a
Volkswagen Golf car, was heading towards Lagos Island around 3.30pm when a DAF truck said to be on top speed lost control, rammed into the median of the bridge and then rammed into his car, crushing it and killing Adebola on the spot. "It took several hours before those
who came to the rescue of the victim could break into the vehicle. He was trapped behind the wheel with blood gushing out of his head as a result of the impact,” an eyewitness said Lagos state Police Public Relations
Officer, Ngozi Braide, confirmed the incident and said the late Adebola's corpse has been deposited at the mortuary "On Eko Bridge, a Daf truck with registration number. JJJ 59 XA, driven by one Justice Oseghai, ran into a Volkswagen Golf car marked AKD 107 CJ, driven by Adebola Ladoja, son of the former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Rasheed Ladoja. The victim died on the spot. His corpse has been
