A car in the convoy of Nigeria’s first lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, has taken the life of a 7-year-old girl named Saratu Lawal in Akure, Ondo State.
SaharaReporters recently revealed that while Bola Tinubu‘s wife was driving from the airport to the venue where the flagging off of the South-West leg of the Renewed Hope Initiative was scheduled to take place, a butter-coloured Hilux in her convoy hit Saratu Lawal around Oba Ile area of the state.
According to reports, the tragic incident happened just before the popular Oba Ile Central Mosque on Thursday, 17th April, 2025, and the sudden impact eventually ended the life of the child despite frantic efforts to keep her alive.
