Tunji Opayele a young man in his 30s , the Co founder of Bumpa ( A multi-million-naira) fintec company closed from work that late evening in March and was on his way home on his bike
From no where , a vehicle driven by Mrs Biola Odutayo ( taking ONE WAY ) ran into him at Victoria Island
She didn't come down from her vehicle to assist the young man , it was just people walking around that picked him up , rushed him to nearby hospitals ( which rejected him )
Until he was taken a government hospital, by then he has lost lots of blood and died.
Opayele is a multimillionaire and his company has over 2000 people working for them
The irony of it all was to that Mrs Odutayo was charged to court and was granted N1m bail and she is walking around free while the young man she killed is lying in the morgue
What a country we live in
I have read the watery press statement issued by the Lagos Police Command on the matter ( where it stated that they've played their part and the rest is left for the Nigeria judiciary)
May Nigeria never happen to you

For avoidance of doubt, below is attached a copy of the charge sheet for verification by everyone.
