The 31-year old twins were returning to their houses in Ijoko, a neighbouring community, when\u00a0 motorcycle they were on crashed into a stationary truck parked by the roadside.<\/p>\n
The twins and the motorcycle rider, Wahab Lamidi, died on the spot.<\/p>\n
PUNCH Metro<\/em>\u00a0gathered that the twins checked on their widowed mother after attending a family function in the area.<\/p>\n After spending some hours with their parent, they left for home around 9pm on the motorcycle which ran into the truck at Vulcanizer Bus-Stop.<\/p>\n Speaking with our correspondent, the elder brother of the twins, Afeez Animashaun, said the incident happened on Sunday.<\/p>\n He said, \u201cThey both came for the introduction of one of our family members and they went to visit our mother afterwards.<\/p>\n \u201cThey both left at the same time because they lived not too far from each other. They left around 9pm only for us to get a call an hour later that they were involved in an accident.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were told that while they were on their way, the motorcycle ran into a faulty stationary truck that failed to use the C-Caution sign. They and the rider died immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n He explained that Taiwo\u2019s wife and the deceased\u2019s mother had been distraught since the incident happened, adding that the twins were very fond of each other.<\/p>\n The truck driver, Bisi Oluniyi, who was said to have been transporting cassava peels to a piggery in Oke-Aro, was subsequently arrested for not using a caution sign that could have averted the accident.<\/p>\n When the State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, was contacted about the incident, he said he would find out about it and get back to our correspondent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When Taiwo and Kehinde Animashaun bade their mother goodbye after a visit to her residence in the Sango area of Ogun State, little did they know they were exchanging last pleasantries.
