The News Agency of Nigeria reports that four members of the party died in a ghastly motor accident few meters to Oke-Onigbin on the Omu-Aran-Ilorin highway in Kwara on Sunday.

Bolarinwa prayed that God will grant the families of the deceased the strength to bear their losses and also grant repose to the souls of the departed.
Bolarinwa said: “We urge all our members and supporters across the state to remember keep the families of our deceased members and those who were injured in the accident in prayers.”

“We sympathise with the families of the deceased and pray God to grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
