A member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Sobur Olayiwola Olawale, popularly called ‘Omititi’ has slumped and died in Jos, Plateau State.

Olawale was in Jos where he attended the APC’s presidential campaign flag-off.

He was said to have died on his way back to Lagos, but still in Jos, sources said on Tuesday.

Olawale was born in 1964. He represented Mushin Constituency II at the State House of Assembly.

Last Friday, during a novelty football match to celebrate the 50th birthday of the Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, the late lawmaker played in the match as the goalkeeper.
