Niyi Ijalaye Slumps, Dies After RECs Meeting In Abuja by treesun: 8:07am On Aug 20
The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Ogun State, Barrister Niyi Ijalaye, has reportedly passed away.

Ijalaye reportedly slumped and died on Monday evening in Abuja shortly after attending a meeting of RECs at the Commission's headquarters.

The cause of his death has not been officially disclosed.

It was gathered that the incident took place in his hotel room shortly after he attended a meeting at the Commission’s headquarters.

The meeting, chaired by INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, focused on the upcoming off-cycle governorship elections in Edo and Ondo States, as well as discussions on seven vacant seats in the National and State Assemblies.

The Ondo-born administrator, who had been in high spirits during the Commission's meeting, retired to Bon Octagon Hotel in the Federal Capital Territory, where the incident took place.

According to a report, the REC from Ondo State was in good spirits throughout the day’s proceedings before his sudden demise.
During the meeting, Barrister Ijalaye, dressed in a blue-striped kaftan and a red cap, was captured in one of the photos posted by the Commission on its timeline.

Barrister Ijalaye had been posted to Ogun State in March 2022 following the transfer of Olusegun Agbaje to Lagos State.

However, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has not yet released an official statement regarding his death.

The fact that this man died in a hotel room will lead many to believe he passed away while having sex. There nothing wrong if people die while having sex.
A French court has ruled in the past that dying during intercourse is as normal as any other human activity, such as walking, running, or climbing a tree.

Very stupid and unnecessary comment. Death is a leveller! No one knows the time, where and how. Even you may be the next on the line.

Lots of deaths in Nigeria are reported as "slumped and died" but there are usually underlying causes such as long-term illnesses, diseases, heart conditions etc. A lot of Nigerians don't go for check-ups, even the rich believe it's a negative thing to visit the hospital...

May God comfort his family!
