Hon. Babatunde Oke, the chairman of Oniggbongbo Local Council Development Area of Lagos state is dead.
He died in the early hours of today, due to coronavirus complication. Hon. Oke was serving his second term in the council and was an active member of the All Progressive Party (APC) before his untimely death.
We gathered that he had been sick for some time but recovered, only for the sickness to relapse late last week due to the stress he went through during the last sallah break where he reportedly got exposed again.
According to a source, Hon. Oke was sick for over 8 weeks with a disease suspected to be COVID-I9 and was earlier treated at the Isolation centre in Gbagada.
He was rushed to an unnamed hospital on Friday. However, he was transferred to St. Nicholas Hospital when his condition became critical. He eventually died in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
