N210m allegedly withdrawn from his account
The death of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, governorship candidate in the 2024 election, Bamidele Akingboye, has continued to raise dust, as policemen are now probing whether he actually died peacefully or was involved in a domestic accident that led to his death.
This is just as the police are probing the allegation that over N210 million was withdrawn from his account shortly after he was reported dead.
In light of the above, policemen have visited his house in the Victoria Garden City, Lekki area of Lagos.

The new wave of controversy, New Daily Prime gathered, arose from a photograph of his corpse which showed bruises on his head.
The image has heightened suspicion that Akingboye’s passing may not have been natural, contrary to earlier reports that he died quietly at home in the early hours of Wednesday, September 10, 2025.
A foreign-based private investigator, Olujimi Lijoka, alleged in a vital video that about N210 million was suspiciously moved from the late politician’s account just hours after his death.
According to him, N205 million was traced to three different accounts.
“I am not a court, but this is deeply suspicious. We cannot fold our arms. I call on Ikale sons and daughters to rise and demand justice for Otunba,” he said in the video.
Family sources hinted that Akingboye, fondly called OBA, might have sustained the injuries after a heated argument in his home degenerated into a violent altercation.
Unconfirmed reports said he was allegedly pushed during the quarrel, causing him to hit his head on the tiled floor and was later rushed to a hospital but was confirmed dead.
