The killing of a female community leader by a trailer in
Abule-Egba in Lagos on November 13 has been linked to
the convoy of the First Lady of Kwara State, Omolewa
Ahmed.
The community leader, Victoria Adeoye, 63,
was killed when a tipper-trailer ploughed
into bystanders as it tried to avoid a head-
on collision with Mrs. Ahmed's convoy, which was driving
on the wrong side of the road.
Unconcerned, Mrs. Ahmed and her convoy of about seven
cars abandoned the accident victims and sped on towards
Abeokuta. The Kwara First Lady was on her way from
visiting popular Fuji musician, Kollington Ayinla, who was
receiving treatment at Hamkad Hospital for an undisclosed
ailment.
Eyewitnesses say the accident occurred when the fourth
vehicle in the convoy was exiting the small road leading to
the hospital. Mrs. Adeoye and a roadside ice cream seller
were killed.
In order to cover up the cause of the accident, authorities at
Hamkad Hospital gagged their workers from disclosing their
VIP guest, and swiftly moved Alhaji Ayinla to another
hospital.
Mrs. Adeola's son, Olusegun Adeoye, an Abuja-based
medical doctor, told SaharaReporters that Hamkad has
refused to disclose the killers of his mother.
SaharaReporters however learnt from people in the area that
although the plate numbers of the vehicles were covered,
policemen in Mrs. Ahmed's convoy had freely chatted with
people in the area and disclosed they were from Kwara
State.
SaharaReporters approached Dr. Femi Akorede, a
spokesperson to the Kwara State governor, who admitted
that the convoy at the hospital was that of the Kwara State
First lady. However, he vehemently denied that the convoy
caused the tragic accident, claiming instead that the brakes
of the tipper-trailer failed and endangered the First Lady's
convoy.
It is unclear how he obtained those details since he was not
on Mrs. Ahmed's detail.
Asked why the First Lady's convoy did not at least stop to
assist the victims of the accident they witnessed even on
compassionate grounds, he said she was only made aware
of it after she returned to Ilorin, the state capital.
Eyewitnesses however, contradicted Akorede's account,
insisting that the accident happened as the convoy
harassed motorists on the highway, causing the trailer to
careen off the highway and then slam into several people,
including Mrs. Adeoye who was at the bus stop on her way
to Oshodi.
The Lagos State police also tried to cover up the cause of
the accident by trying to use force to move the vehicles,
until a mob prevented them from doing so.
The accident occurred within 24 hours after another a
similarly reckless convoy of the Kogi State Governor killed
Professor Festus Iyayi, a former Academic Staff Union of
University (ASUU) President, on his way to an ASUU
conference in Kano on November 12.
