Dispatch Rider Killed

Friends and family have been thrown into deep mourning following the tragic death of a first-class graduate of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), identified as Mayowa, popularly known as Mayorwhiz.
The young scholar, who had earned his degree with first-class honors, was working as a dispatch rider in Ogun State to support himself following the completion of his university studies. According to reports circulating online, the fatal incident occurred around 3:45 p.m. on Saturday, September 12, 2026, along the inbound Kuto underpass near the MKO Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta.
Mayowa was riding his Qlink dispatch motorcycle when a red Lexus ES 350 collided with him at high speed.

He was presumed dead at the scene, and his body was subsequently transported to a general hospital by officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC). Witnesses reported that two male occupants of the Lexus fled the scene immediately after the crash.
