Mysterious Deaths: Five Lagos council women die in two months

‎A wave of silent tragedy has struck in some part of Lagos state, leaving many with heavy hearts and unanswered questions. Five female council officials have passed away in just two months, prompting concern and speculation across the state. ‎ ‎The most recent loss is Adebimpe Akintola, council manager of Coker Aguda LCDA and Chairman of the Forum of Council Managers in Lagos State. As a key figure in her council’s administration and accounting, her passing on Monday September 29th hit hard. She was buried the same day according to Islamic rites, marking the fifth council official lost since the current administration began on July 27, 2025. ‎ ‎Here’s the timeline. On August 13, Oluwakemi Rufai, councillor for Ward C in Ibeju Lekki Local Government, passed away just two weeks after being sworn in. She was the only female councillor in her council. Five days later, on August 18, Zainab Shotayo, the sole female councillor for Ward C in Odiolowo-Ojuwoye LCDA, died, only three weeks into her term. ‎ ‎The losses continued. On September 20, Princess Oluremi Ajose, Vice Chairman of Badagry West LCDA, passed away 55 days after taking office. The next day, September 21, Basirat Oluwakemi Mayabikan, councillor for Ward F in Shomolu Local Government, died, just 56 days into her role. ‎ ‎Five women. Five deaths. All within two months. Across the street of Lagos, people are voicing their shock and concern on social media, with many calling these losses unusual, even suspicious, wondering what could explain such a rapid succession of deaths among newly elected female officials. ‎ ‎The Lagos APC has responded to these concerns. Their spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, stated, “It was read in the news that they were indisposed. It has nothing to do with any kind of politics. This is a surprise. Wherever that is coming from demeans humanity if it is being looked at properly.” ‎ ‎Still, questions remain. Why have these five women, all serving in local government, passed away so suddenly? What does it mean when reports mention they were “indisposed” before their deaths? ‎ ‎Lagos is in mourning. Adebimpe Akintola, Oluwakemi Rufai, Zainab Shotayo, Princess Oluremi Ajose, and Basirat Oluwakemi Mayabikan were dedicated leaders serving according to their community members. ‎ ‎ ‎This is a time for sober reflection, our thoughts and prayers with the family they left behind, may God rest their soul, for more on this story, stay tuned by subscribing to all our social platforms @GuardianNigeria.
