Temitope Olatoye is dead

A serving lawmaker representing Akinyele/ Lagelu federal constituency, Hon. Temitope Olatoye has been shot by some suspected political thugs.

Though, there are reports that the lawmaker is dead, but efforts to confirm if he was dead proved abortive.

A close source who informed that Olatoye who won the APC ticket to return to the House of Representatives in 2015 was shot in the eyes.

The source who said that the lawmaker had died said he has was rushed to the University College Hospital (UCH), immediately he was shot.

Olatoye had last year dumped the ruling APC and joined the Action Democratic Party (ADP) where he ran in the election held on Saturday 23rd February. He later lost to Senator Teslim Folarin of APC.

Oluwole told journalists that he has been out of the command but will also furnish journalists with the detailed information about the incident.
