A petition demanding justice for Adetunji ‘TeeJay’ Opayele, Co-founder and Chief Technical Officer of Nigerian retail automation startup Bumpa, has garnered over 20,000 signatures on Change.org.
The petition, addressed to the Lagos State Government, seeks a manslaughter charge against the driver allegedly responsible for his death.
According to Techpoint Africa, Opayele died on March 5, 2025, following a road accident. The petition, initiated by a group called ‘TeeJay Legacy,’ alleges that the incident occurred on March 4 when Opayele, returning from the gym, was riding his power bike along Ozumba Mbadiwe, Victoria Island, Lagos, at around 10:20 p.m.
