How Ifeanyin met his death
According to Adefila, Ifeanyin was allegedly knocked down by a Nigerian Air Force vehicle along the popular Ikorodu road in Lagos; an incident that unfortunately claimed his life on October 20, 2021.
The poster went on to narrate how Ifeanyi had set out on that fateful day to resume at a school in Ilupeju where he had secured employment as a dance instructor.
In a different portion of his post, Adefila disclosed that the corpse of Ifeanyin’s mother who passed away in August 2021 is still in the mortuary as his own (Ifeanyi’s) body has now also been deposited at the Nigerian Air Force Base mortuary.
Justice for Ifeanyin
Adefila called for justice for the late Ifeanyin's family as he noted that they should be compensated.
He wrote:
"His bereaved family who are definitely inconsolable at the moment also stands the risk of not getting any form of tangible compensation from those whose vehicle knocked him down EXCEPT...Justice for Ifeanyin."
