A man, identified as Victor Adepoju, was found dead by the side of a stream less than 48 hours after participating in last Saturday’s Okpekpe Road race, the highest paying complete road race in Nigeria which held in Edo State at Akoko Edo. The body of the man, who was said to be a staff of the Edo State Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning, was said to have been discovered by the side of the stream at about 6.00 a.m on Monday with a vest tagged: Number 515. The circumstances of the man’s death was unclear but sources said he might have collapsed and died from exhaustion after he struggled to get water to drink from the stream. The remains of the man has been deposited at Lazarus Hospital in Fugar, headquarters of Etsako Central Local Government Area of Edo State. Spokesman of the Edo State Police Command, Mr Moses Eguavoen, confirmed that Adepoju died after participating in the road race. “An incident like that happened. He was a contestant in the road race. He was recovered from the water. The parents came and identified the body. “The parents are asking for the corpse to be buried. The relations are declining investigations. They are not suspecting any foul play. The police is asking for a court affidavit to show that they are not interested in the investigation,” Eguavoen said. http://tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/news/item/11292-man-s-corpse-found-after-participating-in-okpekpe-road-race http://oodera.com/2013/05/07/edo-ministry-staff-slumps-and-dies-after-okpekpe-road-race/ |

RIP He shouldn't have participated in the race if he knew he had health issues. You don't force yourself to do strenuous things just because of prize money. So sad |

There are some question that needs answer in the matter: -Was he the only one participating in the race? -How come other contestants did not see when he slumped. -Was there no ambulance accompanying the contestants...  There may be more to this. 11 Likes |

DICKtator: [size=13pt]Why such foul language?! The price money for any Edo state winner was 100,000 Naira. And its most likely that he was motivated (maybe in part) by this. Dont forget he was a civil servant. Where you abused as a child or are you just a person by default?! [/size] 1 Like |

Lilimax: There are some question that needs answer in the matter: This is the area I am sure that something is wrong because there is noway that such a thing will happen and nobody saw it. Something is behind this as I believe that somebody is trying to cover something. |
