Police Debunk Reports Linking First Lady’s Convoy To Death In Ondo by Dienamics(op): 11:13pm On Apr 17, 2025
The Police Force Ondo State Command has dismissed as false a report claiming that a vehicle in the convoy of the First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, was responsible for the death of a nine-year-old girl in Akure on Thursday.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the first lady was in Ondo State to launch the Renewed Hope Initiative Health Programme and to distribute 10,000 professional kits. comprising Crocs and scrubs, to midwives in the South-West zone.

In a statement, the Command’s spokesperson, DSP Olufunmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, clarified that the claim, published by an online reporters, was entirely baseless and misleading.

“The attention of the Ondo State Police Command has been drawn to a false and misleading report published by Sahara Reporters on April 17.

“It alleged that the convoy of the first lady, Sen. Oluremi, was responsible for the tragic death of a young girl in Akure,” the statement read.


“Eyewitness accounts and preliminary investigations conducted by the command confirm that the incident was caused by a hit-and-run driver operating an unregistered white Lexus vehicle.

” And not by any vehicle associated with the first lady’s convoy.”


According to command’s pokesperson, a witness ,who observed the hit-and-run incident pursued the fleeing vehicle on a motorcycle immediately after the crash, which occurred in the Oba-Ile area of Akure.

The witness accounts were corroborated by several individuals at the scene, as well as by the victim’s parents.

“Furthermore, Sahara Reporters inaccurately claimed the deceased girl was nine years old.

According to her parents, the child was actually seven years old, highlighting the publication’s disregard for factual accuracy, even in a matter as sensitive as this,” the statement added.


The Commissioner of Police, Ondo state command, was said to have personally visited the grieving family and assured them of a full and transparent investigation into the incident.

“At no point was the first lady’s convoy involved in this tragedy,” the spokesperson reaffirmed.

Most people didn't get to see the report from Sahara reporters,if not for the awareness created by the police press release, however if Nigeria police debunks any news,it then means that the news is......your guess is as good as mine.
May her soul RIP!

he confirmed that the incident was caused by a hit-and-run driver operating an unregistered white Lexus vehicle — not by any vehicle belonging to or associated with the First Lady’s convoy.
Just look at this lie ? Unregistered just like that ?

How that woman ended up as a pastor is a puzzle.

Well she is in RCCG , a church where they secretly work for the devil's one world religion.
So no surprises there.

If they debunk it, its true. If they do not debunk it, its also true, that is how bad Nigerians have lost their trust for the system and the govt. They brought this upon themselves.

Cover up, it takes no time
Re: Police Debunk Reports Linking First Lady’s Convoy To Death In Ondo by Blazetrailer:
How did the police know that the vehicle was unregistered??

Did they catch the driver and the vehicle and confirmed with the VIN that it was never registered?

For police to have come out to debunk the story and claiming an unregistered vehicle did it, then it must have happened.

RIP little girl.....sorry you were unfortunate to have been born in an ufortunate country.

Nothing good will ever ever come out from a cursed stolen mandate except shame, killings , deaths and widespread poverty with no hope to the people that supported the illegitimate government

Now that the NPF has come out to debunk, we can factually say that it was indeed true that they killed that girl.

Poor girl. RIP to her.

Eyewitness accounts and preliminary investigations conducted by the command confirm that the incident was caused by a hit-and-run driver operating an unregistered white Lexus vehicle.

” And not by any vehicle associated with the first lady’s convoy.”

Rumors are carried by haters,

spread by fools,

and accepted by idiots.

Yeah, right.
I was waiting for this debunking to confirm that the story by Sahara reporters is true. Now I know it's true.
They've visited the parents of the deceased child and given them money. So they'll indeed confirm it's a hit and run.
Re: Police Debunk Reports Linking First Lady’s Convoy To Death In Ondo by Willy2025: 7:05am On Apr 18, 2025
What is the point of denying? It was an accident, not a deliberate killing. The Presidency only need to visit the victim's family on a condolence visit. Compensation can also be paid to the family if necessary.

you're shameless and evil tribal bigot yet you claim to serve Jesus. What concerns the south east with an incident that happened in Ondo state and was reported by yoruba medium ? Let cowardice not devour your existence walahi. Shameless thing
Re: Police Debunk Reports Linking First Lady’s Convoy To Death In Ondo by KillahPriest: 8:06am On Apr 18, 2025
Sahara reporters said the victim was seven years old, police claims Sahara published nine years but victim is seven. If you're not confused by this debunking then nothing should confuse you again
