Ms Okpe, however, said she was yet to be fully briefed by the FRSC in Ota Unit.

A traditional ruler in Ogun West senatorial district, who did not want his name in print, also confirmed the incident. He expressed shock over the third-class traditional ruler commuting in a tricycle.

It could not be immediately ascertained whether the deceased has a car or chose to commute in a tricycle due to the hike in the pump price of petrol.
