Exposed: PDP Guber Candidate, Jandor Lied Over Bamishe Mortuary Bill

Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Lagos State, Mr. Olajide Adediran, a.k.a Jandor, has been busted over his claim of offsetting the accumulated mortuary bill of late Bamise Ayanwole.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the sum of N588,000 allegedly paid by Jandor to the Lagos Mainland Hospital, Yaba, was actually paid for by an official of the Lagos State Government after an invoice was generated on October 12, 2022, and paid for the same day.

The bill –included an embalment fee of N50,000, a mortuary service of N5,000 and a storage fee of N533,000 only– paid into the Lagos Mainland Hospital’s account.

In February 2022, the late Bamishe, a fashion designer, was allegedly murdered after boarding a BRT driven by Andrew Ominnikoron.

Her remains were deposited and had been at the hospital morgue in Yaba.

Ominnikoron was later arrested by the Nigeria Police and the case has been in Court while Ominnikoron is currently being detained as the lead suspect in the murder case.

The Court adjourned the case to October 25th and 31st, 2022 for continuation of trial.

However, Lagos Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has reiterated that the State Government won’t stop until the killers of Bamise are brought to book.

He promised to see the murder case to a logical conclusion with the offenders facing the full wrath of the law.

The Lagos Governor also expressed firmly his dedication to protecting and providing security, law, and order for everybody in Lagos.

The governor also noted that an investigation has been launched into the misinformation by those who are trying to sabotage the effort of the State Government.

Meanwhile, Oluwapelumi Ayanwole-Abegunde, late Bamishe’s elder brother, had alleged that on October 13, he had gone to request for the bill and pay the mortuary bill so that the remains of his sister can be retrieved but was denied and not allowed to make payment.

On October 14, a short video of Ayanwole-Abegunde went viral with him thanking Jandor for offsetting the accumulated mortuary bills and lambasting the Lagos State Government without having any idea of who paid.

Ayanwole-Abegunde further alleged that the family members were taken aback when they were notified by the mortuary attendant that the morgue bill had accumulated to more than N500,000 and that the family was expected to pay it.

Ayanwole-Abegunde made this claim during a press conference organised by the PDP governorship candidate seemingly to humiliate the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

He said: “We were surprised because we didn’t take her (Bamise) to the mortuary in the first place”.

“We went to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, to get clarification but we were told that after the autopsy report, the onus lied on us to pay the bill.”

“This has been accumulating without our knowledge. We are very grateful to Jandor for being moved by the story and offering to assist in upsetting the bill.”

But recent revelation has indicated that the PDP gubernatorial candidate was contacted just to score unnecessary cheap political points.
