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.

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