Former Lagos state Governor’s son dies in hit and run accident

Laolu Mudashiru, the eldest son of former Military Governor of Lagos State, late Air Commodore Gbolahan Mudashiru, has been confirmed dead.

The Managing Director of Vetiva Capital management, an investment and asset management firm, reportedly died from a hit and run accident that occurred on Bourdilion road, Ikoyi, Lagos on Sunday.

Laolu was cycling with two other professional cyclists when a drunk driver rammed into their bicycles and sped off, leaving them with very serious injuries.

Mudashiru and the two other cyclists who have not been identified were rushed to the Lagoon Hospital on Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi, where Mudashiru eventually died from injuries to the head.

Mudashiru, who trained as a medical doctor, was in his early fifties.
