Yesterday Thursday May 29th was indeed a sad day for the former Governor of Oyo State, Rasheed Ladoja, as he lost one of his sons in a ghastly auto crash on the Eko Bridge in Lagos yesterday afternoon.
An eyewitness said the driver of a Daf truck, who was on top speed, lost control of his vehicle, rammed into the median of the bridge, before he eventually crashed into the car driven by Ladoja’s son. He said: “It took several hours before the victim could be rescued from the wreckage of the vehicle. He was trapped behind the wheels with blood gushing out of his head.”
The deceased, identified as Adebola Ladoja, was driving a Golf saloon car, marked, AKD 107 CJ, and was said to be on his way to Lagos Island when the Daf truck, with number plate, JJJ 59 XA, driven by one Justice Oseghai, rammed into his car on the Eko Bridge. Lagos Police spokesperson, Ngozi Braide, who confirmed the incident, said it occurred at about 3.30pm.
She said: “At about 3.30pm on the Eko Bridge, Lagos Island, a Daf truck with number plate, JJJ 59 XA, driven by one Justice Oseghai, ran into a Volkswagen Golf saloon car, marked, AKD 107 CJ, driven by one Adebola Ladoja, the son of a former governor of Oyo State, Senator Rasheed Ladoja. The victim died on the spot. The corpse has been removed to the Lagos Island General Hospital mortuary for autopsy while the truck driver has been arrested.”
May his soul rest in peace.
