A young passenger, identified as Kabiru, 22, has tragically lost his life in a road accident near Bukky’s Court, along Obafemi Awolowo Way, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State.
The crash, which occurred at about 7:30 PM on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, involved a Bajaj motorcycle carrying two passengers and a green and white timber-laden lorry with registration number LAGOS BS 385 KJA, driven by 71-year-old Wakilu Tanfeku of Oke Alafia Street, Ijebu-Igbo.
According to police reports, the motorcycle attempted to overtake the lorry but lost control, crashing onto the road.
