The chairman of Ilaje local government area of Ondo state Agunola Omomowo yesterday slumped and died after attending a political meeting in Akure, the state capital.

According to party sources who hinted that after the meeting, the 61-year-old deceased who walked to his car reportedly slumped when he was about unlocking his vehicle.

He reportedly gave up the ghost before he got to the State specialist hospital where he was rushed to by sympathisers and party members.

His Special Adviser on Media Bode Omoyoloye who confirmed the unfortunate incident said that his principal did not show any sign of illness before the commencement of the meeting yesterday.

Omoyoloye described the sudden death of his boss as a rude shock and that the entire oil rich community has been thrown into mourning.


He was not showing any sign of sickness before his death because he left Igbokoda to Akure for a political meeting with his vice and the Secretary.

After the meeting, he slept in a hotel, but he slumped before he got to his car and died before getting to the hospital.

He was a fine gentleman, easy going and generous to all as he was been enjoyed by all Ilaje indigenes since he was sworn in as the LGA boss.

The deceased council boss was elected the executive council. Chairman of the oil-rich areas on April. 23 this year.

Tuface Idibia, the famous Afro-Pop artiste has vowed to go on with his palnned protest on Monday barely hours after the Lagos State Police Command vowed to stop the planned exercise.

The event which was earlier scheduled to hold in Lagos only would also hold in Abuja on February 6, 2017.

Tuface, who made his insistence known on his Instagram account, said the events being organised on the platform of the 2Face Foundation, would commence at 8: am in Lagos and 9: am in Abuja.

In a move indicative that the protests tagged: One Voice, One Nigeria were explicitly about Nigeria, interested participants were asked to put on green attires.

Yesterday’s post to the effect that the protests would go on, was on the heels of a similar notice by a civil society organisation, Enough Is Enough, EiE.

Tuface said the protests were meant to sensitise the Nigerian authorities over the increasing hardship in the country.

The insistence by Tuface generated so many comments on his Instagram account from would-be protesters, who maintained that the grinding hardship in Nigeria made the protests inevitable.

As of the time of filing this report, the social media was abuzz with comments against the plan to stop the protest.

Instructively, those, who questioned the reasons adduced by the Police, insisted that it was the responsibility of the law enforcement agency to maintain law and order during the exercise.

Even a few, who were less sympathetic to the protests, reminded the Police that the right to protest was inalienable.

While dismissing the reasons given by the Police, others pointed at past protests which held in the country without being stopped by the law.
