156

Tragedy struck on Wednesday as Senate correspondent of the Tribune Newspaper, Tijani Adeyemi, died of cardiac arrest in one of the National Assembly shuttle buses.

The Tribune reporter had taken one of the shuttles from the main entrance, known as Mopol entrance, at 10 a.m., and by the time he arrived at the checkpoint, he had died.

Attempts to resuscitate him were futile, and he was pronounced dead when he arrived at the clinic of the Federation’s Secretary General.

Adeyemi’s body was thereafter kept at the National Assembly’s clinic for evacuation and burial after being pronounced dead at the medical clinic.

His remains were laid to rest at the Gudu Cemetery in line with Islamic rites.
