Former Deputy Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Christopher Ayeni, tragically passed away in a car accident on Thursday, October 31.
Ayeni, who held the position of Deputy Speaker in the fourth State Legislative Assembly, reportedly died in the accident, which took place at approximately 10:00 am, located 500m away from the Igbaja Junction in Ajase-Ipo, a district within the Irepodun Local Government Area of the state.
The Public Relations Officer for the state FRSC sector command, Basambo Olayinka, confirmed the incident in a statement on Thursday.
Olayinka said, “The accident involved five people, noting that all five sustained varying degrees of injuries and no fatalities occurred at the scene.”
However, Basambo added that Ayeni later succumbed to his injuries at a cottage hospital in Ajase Ipo, where he had been taken for treatment.
He said that the recovered items from the accident scene included two Android phones now held by the FRSC and two bags in the custody of the Nigeria Police at Ajase-Ipo Division.
Ayeni, who had previously run as a candidate in the 2023 House of Representatives election under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), later switched his allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC) after the election.
