Adewale Bello
Kunle Adewale, a son of the Olu of Epe, and five others drowned on Saturday in a river after their boast capsized. It was learnt that Kunle, who is a Director in the Lagos State Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, is the first son of the Olu of Epe, Oba Shefiu Adewale, who ascended the throne two years ago.
Our correspondent learnt that Kunle and a local government chairman aspirant, Mr. Muiz Bello, as well as four others had gone to cast their votes for the All Progressives Congress when their boast suddenly capsized on their way back.
A close source said, “It is indeed a very sad day. We were all together in Epe early in the morning and we ate together. After some time, they said they registered at a polling unit across the river.
“About five hours later, we heard that he had died. We still don’t know how it all happened.”
The state Chairman of APC, Chief Henry Ajomale,has also confirmed the incident.
