Tragedy struck late Monday night as Kolapo, popularly known as Kola Onifoto, lost his life in a fatal motorcycle accident in Kara, Lagos.
According to sources, the vibrant young man was entering Lagos when the accident occurred. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and hospital officials later confirmed that he had passed away before arrival.
Contrary to circulating rumours suggesting he was alone at the time of the incident, close associates Akan, Anthony, and Oyindamola were reportedly with him and were responsible for identifying his body.
Family members, including his sister, have been notified of the devastating development and are currently receiving support from friends and well-wishers during this difficult time.
Kolapo will be remembered for his dynamic personality and diverse passions. He was known as an author, soldier, driver, tourist, comedian, musician, poet, and a beloved brother who embraced life with remarkable energy and purpose.
Further details surrounding the incident are expected to be made available as investigations continue.

My heart is broken.
You read it right, he still died. For those who knew him, he was everything.
From a masterclass photographer
A Naval officer before he left the service.
Wrote about 3 books
Used his influence built over the years to serve Nigerians — a real activist recovering people’s debts, and assisting the oppressed.
I can go on and on.
Then he became a biker 💔💔💔

An actual soldier, life hit. He left and started street photography.
He did it passionately and creatively, life hit. He started cab driving…
To contribute to the world around him, he started social media activism.

@theway1714:
When others chose silence, you chose courage. You stood against fraud and dishonest practices, not for applause, but because it was the right thing to do. Your strength protected businesses, people, and principles.
I’m proud of the stand you took. Your honesty didn’t just make a difference, it set a standard.
Rest On Kola Onifoto 💔.
