A former Special Adviser to Lagos State
Governor on Mineral Resources, Mr. Ahmed
Onipede, was on Monday reported killed in
his Badagry residence.
Onipede served in the administration of the
immediate past state governor, Asiwaju
Bola Tinubu.
Sources close to the deceased told one of
our correspondents that although the
deceased was neither shot nor strangulated,
there were some signs of violence found on
his body.
His remains was said to have been
discovered by his gardener at about
7.30am.
The gardener reportedly raised the alarm
that attracted neighbours and sympathisers
who later reported the case at a nearby
police station.
His remains, which might be buried on
Tuesday (today) according to Islamic rites,
were thereafter taken to a hospital for
autopsy.
The state police command’s Public Relations
Officer, Mr. Frank Mba, confirmed Onipede’s
death to one of our correspondents.
Mba, a superintendent of police, said it was
a case of homicide.
He added that the command had
commenced investigation into the
circumstances surrounding the incident.
The Publicity Secretary of the Action
Congress, Lagos State Chapter, Mr. Joe
Igbokwe, in an interview with one of our
correspondents, said he had just been
briefed about the killing and could not get a
clear picture of what happened.
He said, “I don’t know what happened; I
have not got a clear picture of the incident. I
was in a meeting when I got information
about the death. ”
Onipede joined Tinubu’s administration on
March 29, 2001 when the former governor
redeployed three commissioners and
appointed two special advisers as part of
the re-organisation of the machinery of
government.
The then Head of Civil Service in the state,
Alhaji Rafiu Tinubu, announced Onipede ’s
appointment as special adviser alongside
that of Mr. Henry Ajomale as Special Adviser
on Political and Legislative Powers.
