Former Oyo Governor, Rasheed Ladoja, Loses Son In Fatal Auto Crash

Posted on 4:15 AM by john cena


The former Governor of Oyo State, Rasheed Ladoja, sadly lost one of his sons on Thursday in an auto crash on the Eko Bridge in Lagos.

According to Punch Adebola Ladoja (pictured), was driving a Golf saloon car, marked, AKD 107 CJ, and was said to be on his way to Lagos Island when a Daf truck, with number plate, JJJ 59 XA, driven by one Justice Oseghai, rammed into his car on the Eko Bridge.

An eyewitness said the driver of the 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 deceased’s car.


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 Lagos State Police spokesperson, Ngozi Braide, who confirmed the incident, added that 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.”

ThisDay reports that according to an eyewitness account, the driver of the truck, identified as Justice Osaghai, who was on top speed, lost control and rammed into the median of the bridge before it eventually ran into Ladoja’s car.

The eyewitness who was identified as Femi Alonso, said: “The victim would have survived the crash if the first set of people that arrived the scene had attempted to carry out first aid treatment.

“Rather, they were more concerned with forming a ring around the victim and taking pictures. Some of them however prevented the driver of the truck from running away when he tried to.

Alonso said the intervention of the policemen and officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASMA) saved the driver as the visibly furious mob was about to lynch him.


Some friends of Adebola took to Facebook to mourn the deceased;

One of them, Kiri Phoenix Gray, wrote, “Omg I’m in such shock to find out my friend Dee CaKe Ladoja is no longer with us. I’ll never forget what such an amazing friend you were to me Dee and the only person I had when I first moved to London. I’ll miss you so much and I regret all the times we said we needed to catch up recently and didn’t. It was only a couple of weeks ago since we spoke and I won’t forget that conversation.

Another friend, Folarin Amosu, wrote, “Adebola Ladoja, my aburo, my good friend and ex colleague, Just heard the sad news about your accident that led to death. Why bro??? Still saw you two weeks ago when you visited me, we had a lovely time laughing and sharing business ideas.

‘‘You are the true legend Debola. Personally you will always be in my heart and I will always miss you.”
