We @LagosPoliceNG acknowledge public concerns regarding the tragic accident that claimed the life of Adetunji Opayele (Teejay) on March 4, 2025. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family, friends, and all who have been affected by this loss.
We can confirm that following a thorough investigation, Abiola Odutayo ‘f’ was arraigned in Court 1, Tinubu on March 12, 2025, after she was discharged from hospital, for driving on a ‘public highway in a reckless and careless manner without due care and attention to other road users and caus[ing] the death of one Tunji Opayele ‘m’ aged 32 and thereby committed an offence…’
The court granted her bail and adjourned the case till April 16, 2025.
The Lagos State Police Command remains committed to transparency, fairness, and justice.
Biola Adams-Odutayo’s reckless and lawless driving killed Adetunji Opayele (TeeJay), the Co-founder and Chief Technical Officer of Bumpa. Nigeria’s corrupt law enforcement is letting her get away with murder.

Sign The Petition is trending because Nigeria has happened to a senior tech founder.
Adetunji “Teejay” Opayele the co-founder of Bumpa, was klled by a Lagos rich kid, Biola Adams driving on one way.
Apparently, on March 4th, Teejay, was biking his way home from the gym at VI. When a car came out of no where and smashed him into unconsciousness.
Turns out, he was in his right of way, but the car was driven by a Lagos rich kid, Biola Adams-Odutayo, who works for one of the biggest health insurance firms in Nigeria.
Tragically, when she hit him. She tried to flee the scene. But people gathered ensuring she couldn’t.
With Teejay lying in critical condition, drenched in his own blood. Biola refused to step out of the car to assess the damage. Or even render any help.
She sat in the car, pressing her phone and making calls. When her friends finally responded to the crowd asking her to take him to the hospital, they said;
“Biola cannot take him, because she doesn’t want blood stains in her car”.
The good people around, tried to help. As no car was willing to stop. They got an uber, took him to nearby clinics, he was rejected. Meanwhile, Biola Adams already contacted a tow truck to tow her car.
Note: she was moving in a convoy of two cars, he driver drove one behind, while she led.
So, as TJ was rejected. They had to return to the accident scene, use a Korope, and forced Biola to enter the bus, so that the hospitals will admit him. — this was after nearly 1hr.
What they finally got to a hospital, Teejay was declared dead.
Again, Biola tried to flee. They later got her arrested. But as they did, she kept boasting that nothing will happen to her because her family has connections. — And she was right.
After the arrest. She was released almost immediately. And then charged for “Traffic Violations”. Instead of Manslaughter. The police totally swept away the accident.
They took her to court for “traffic offense” and that same day the court granted her bail of 1M, she paid that same day, and has returned back to her life.
Now, the family of Teejay, doubt she’s still in the country. They want proper Justice done. And have called on all Nigerians to lend a voice. Because a bright talent has been wasted.
Teejay secured $4M international funding for Bumpa, he initially founded HostCabal, and worked in premium companies both in US and Nigeria.
Friends and family are demanding for justice for Teejay.
