A tragic incident involving the death of Adetunji ‘TeeJay’ Opayele, Co-founder and Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of Nigerian retail automation startup Bumpa, has sparked outrage, with over 7,000 people signing a petition on Change.org directed at the Lagos State Government.
Opayele, who died on March 5, 2025, following a car accident, is at the center of a petition initiated by “TeeJay Legacy,” which alleges that the accident and subsequent events were the result of negligence.
