One of the wives of the former candidate of the Social Democratic Party in the November 16, 2024, Ondo State governorship election, Bamidele Akingboye has been accused of being behind his death.
Akingboye reportedly died last Wednesday at his Victoria Garden City (VGC) residence in Lagos at the age of 60.
A close source on Saturday disclosed that Akingboye’s death wasn’t natural but caused by domestic violence.
The source urged security agencies to unravel the truth.
“The SDP candidate in Ondo state who recently died was killed by his wife. She allegedly killed him by pushing off the balcony,” he said.
Meanwhile images of Akingboye’s lifeless body trending online showed bruises and deep cuts on his head and neck.
The late politician had contested in the November 16, 2024 governorship election against Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Agboola Ajayi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and 12 others.
Police authorities confirmed that they had launched a discreet investigation into the case, vowing to leave no stone unturned in getting to the roots of his death.
Akingboye, who contested the 2024 Ondo State governorship election on the SDP platform, was widely respected for his philanthropy and political ideals.
Activists, civil society groups and concerned Nigerians have demanded a thorough investigation, with some warning against attempts to cover up the circumstances of his passing.
