The Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District, Bayo Osinowo is dead.
The lawmaker, popularly known as Peperito passed away on Monday morning.
A source close to the family confirmed the development to DAILY POST.
“The Senator has been suffering high blood pressure for years. It’s really not a secret, those close to him know this”.
Commenting on speculations that Osinowo died of coronavirus complications, the source said it might not be true.
I don’t think so because Senator Osinowo has been very careful since the COVID-19 outbreak. He avoided meeting people”, he said.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State House of Assembly chamber was in a mourning mood during today’s sitting after the news filtered in.
