The 25-year-old lawyer whose father is said to be the Welfare Officer of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Lagos State University (LASU) chapter, died in a fatal accident at Volks bus stop along the Lagos-Badagry expressway.
It was gathered that Usaamah, son of ASUU executive and the bike he boarded were hit by a trailer while trying to avoid an oncoming Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) that drove against traffic. A Ph.D. student and friend of Dr. Adenowo, a soldier who saw Usaamah’s Identity Card, traced the address on it to his home to inform his parents.
“The reckless SUV driver drove the wrong way to avoid heavy traffic on the other lane. The Okada rider, in a bid to avoid head-on collision with the SUV, unknowingly turned to a speeding trailer. That man (Usaamah) and the Okada rider were hit by the trailer. Both of them died on the spot” an eyewitness said. One Adebanji Adeyemi who taught the late Usaamah English language at Vanguards Academy, a secondary school in Ijebu-Ishiwo, Ogun State, described him as a gentle and intelligent person.
”The Okada rider has been buried. Usaamah was buried earlier today (yesterday) at Isashi in Ojo Local Government. He studied Law at the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), Kwara State. He was on his Master’s at the University of Ibadan (UI), Oyo State. He was working with a law firm in Surulere. He was coming to Masha where he stayed with someone due to the distance from his parents’ house and the perennial traffic along the Badagry Expressway. I am devastated by his death” he said.
