The Immediate past Special Adviser to Lagos-State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Sports, Mr. Deji Tinubu, is dead. According to information reaching us reported that the beloved everybody’s favorite friend on radio and football analyst dies yesterday evening, after participating in a soccer game at the ongoing retreat of the Lagos State Cabinet in Epe.
The deceased was confirmed dead at the Epe General Hospital where he was transported to. The State government is yet to comment on the sad incident.
