The death of two alleged lovers inside a vehicle on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Wednesday has been trailed by controversy.

The lovers died while having sex inside a Toyota Sienna vehicle in the NASFAT section of the Mowe-Ibafo axis of the motorway, according to eyewitnesses. The accusation was, however, refuted by the police.

The corpses of the lovers caused panic on the expressway on Wednesday when our correspondent visited the scene of the incident.

This is as many passers-by were seen taking pictures and recording video at the scene of the incident.

It was gathered that people became suspicious after the vehicle remained on the same spot for two days.

The Toyota Sienna vehicle with number plate, Lagos – LSD 992HH, where the bodies were found had a construction helmet placed on the dashboard.

In a viral video, a man was heard saying, “This car has been parked for two days. If you know the owner of the vehicle, please contact Mowe-Ibafo police station.”

When contacted, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident.

He, however, clarified that the suspected lovers did not die while having sex as speculated.

According to him, the man, identified as Akeem, had been reported at Ilaje Police Division in Lagos State for assault.

Oyeyemi said, “They did not die while having sex. The man had earlier been reported at Ilaje police station in Lagos. He was reported for hitting an object on his lover’s head.

“When the lady became unconscious, the man put her in his car and drove off. He reportedly took snipper on their way to Ogun State and they were both found dead around NASFAT. An investigation is ongoing to ascertain the cause of the death.”

No Effective Governance Without Full Local Government Autonomy — Femi Gbajabiamila

Published

on

The Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, has stated that governance at the local government level cannot be effective without complete autonomy.

He made the remark while addressing journalists after voting in the Lagos State local government elections in Surulere on Saturday.

When asked about the progress of implementing the LG autonomy ruling by the Supreme Court one year after it was delivered, Gbajabiamila described the process as ongoing and said it would be completed with time.

Gbajabiamila said, “The ruling was welcome by everybody. It’s the execution of that ruling and the implementation of that ruling that we are still trying to dot the Is and cross the Ts.

“I believe in a matter of time, we will realise full autonomy. There cannot be effective governance without full autonomy. That’s what we are working toward.”

In July 2024, the Supreme Court granted autonomy to all 774 local government areas across the country following a case filed by the federal government through the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation. However, the ruling is yet to be fully implemented.

Following the judgement, the Senate urged state and local governments to immediately adhere to the court’s directive, especially regarding local government accounts and direct fund disbursements.

The Senate also moved to amend relevant sections of the Constitution to ensure full local government autonomy nationwide.

The announcement was made by Deputy Senate President Senator Jibrin Barau, after lawmakers emerged from a closed-door session where they discussed alleged efforts by some state governments to bypass the Supreme Court’s ruling on July 11.
