Information reaching Diaspora Digital Media has it that a vehicle in the convoy of wife of the Nigerian president, Oluremi Tinubu, has killed a seven years old girl identified as Saratu Lawal in Akure, Ondo State.

Mrs Tinubu was in Akure on Thursday to flag off the South-West leg of the Renewed Hope Initiative to improve the well-being of women and girls across the country and distribute no fewer than 10,000 professional kits — comprising Crocs and scrubs — to nurses and midwives in the South-West region.

Reliable information has it that a hilux van in the speeding convoy knocked Saratu around Oba Ile while the president’s wife was moving from the airport to the venue of the event.

“A seven years old girl by name Saratu Lawal, and a pupil of Islamiyar Arabic School, Shasha, was knocked down by a butter coloured hilux in the government convoy of her Excellency, the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is on official visit to Ondo State,” the source said.

“The incident occurred today, Thursday 17th April, 2025 in Oba Ile, before the Oba Ile Central Mosque.

“It claimed the life of the child as every effort to save her could not yield the desired result even when she was rushed to the primary healthcare in Oba Ile.”

When contacted, Malam Lawali, the father of the deceased, who is a trader at Oba Ile market, said he has “handed everything to God.”

The corpse has been handed over to the family for burial in line with Islamic injunction.
