A Lagos lawmaker, Mr Setonji David has commiserated with Sen. Solomon Adeola (APC-Ogun) over the gruesome murder of his side, Mr Adeniyi Sanni on Saturday at Oshodi area of Lagos State.

David, the Deputy Chief Whip, Lagos State House of Assembly, made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Sunday.

NAN recalls that Sanni, a senior aide to Adeola, representing Ogun West, was shot dead in Oshodi area of Lagos state on Saturday morning by unknown assailants.

The senator’s spokesperson, Kayode Odunaro in a statement in Abuja, said the lifeless body of Sanni was found with gunshot wounds, dumped at Toyota bus stop in the Oshodi area of Lagos state.

Odunaro narrated that the deceased was said to have been stopped at a checking point in Lagos where he was said to have been questioned about documents of his vehicle.

He said after constant communication with the wife, the legislative aide suddenly went incommunicado, suggesting that something unpleasant had happened to him.

According to him, his corpse was later found with bullet wounds hours later.

David (APC- Badagry II) sent his heartfelt condolences to Sanni’s family and his boss, Adeola, on the gruesome and unfortunate death of the senator’s aide in Lagos.

He said: “The incident that lead to his death is tragic, painful, grievous and a great loss not just to the family but to the entire nation and humanity.

“I believe the police has already begun investigation and I urge the police not to allow this issue to be swept under the carpet so the cause of his death can be exposed.

“On behalf of the Lagos state House of Assembly, I commiserate with his family, Sen. Adeola, friends and colleagues of the deceased.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and colleagues in this difficult time.”

The lawmaker, thereafter, demanded a thorough probe of activities surrounding the untimely death.

David prayed the good Lord Almighty to accept his soul and grant him eternal rest.

A former Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, has recounted how a hospital in Plateau State did not attend to him because of the non-payment of the admission deposit.

Dalung said he fell ill on Wednesday, May 8, and went to the unnamed hospital for treatment but that the hospital refused to give him treatment because he had yet to make an admission deposit despite holding his medical records. The former minister said he regained partial consciousness later and transferred the deposit before he was attended to.

“I took ill on Wednesday, arrived at the hospital & shortly became unconscious after doctor’s interviews. Was ferried into emergency ward but abandoned for over 4 hrs due to non payments of admission deposits. Regained partial consciousness later did the transfer of deposit.

After that, I fell into unconsciousness again for about 7 hours. To God be the glory, I have been discharged after 3 days & recovering. Were it not for partial consciousness to pay the deposits, I would have been Mr. late. Many Nigerians have gone this way. Where is our humanity?

I was then admitted into the ward and given medical attention. This is the hospital that has my medical records. The last medical checkup I did about 2 months ago was there, but suddenly, I became a stranger because of non payments of deposits even with the so-called name. Hmmmm”
