Hit-and-run motorist kills Mudashiru, the son of an ex-military governor of Lagos.

Olaolu Mudasiru, the co-founder and deputy managing director of Vetiva Capital Management, reportedly passed away after being struck by an unidentified car.

Valid view network report – While cycling with two other people on the Bourdillon road in the Ikoyi district of Lagos State on Sunday morning, Mudasiru was killed in a hit-and-run accident.

The co-founder of Vetiva was also Gbolahan Mudasiru’s first child, a former military ruler of Lagos state who passed away in 2003.

Mudasiru was a seasoned investment banker with knowledge of stockbroking, asset management, and other areas of investment banking.

He graduated from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business and had degrees in international securities, investments, and banking from the ICMA Centre of The University of Reading in the UK, the College of Medicine at the University of Lagos in Nigeria, and the United Kingdom.

He held memberships in the Medical & Dental Council of Nigeria, the London Stock Exchange, and the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers, all of which are dealing members.

Mudasiru was quite adaptable, and his 16 years of expertise spanned the investment banking spectrum, spanning wealth management, financial intermediation, trading & dealing, and carrying out numerous operations in the financial services sector.

It is with great sadness that I report the passing this morning of a senior ex-boy named Dr. Olaolu Mudasiru (Dr. Bob) who was involved in a bike accident in Lagos by 5am. He was the older brother of Olusola Mudasiru, a respected forum colleague of ours. My brother, may you rest in peace –Omolulu wrote in a post.

The incident was confirmed by Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos police command’s spokesman.

The other two people are “responding to treatment,” according to the Police PRO, but no one has been taken into custody in relation to the event.
