Barely two weeks after taking her oath of office, Oluwakemi Rufai, the only female councillor in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area, has passed away. Rufai, who represented Ward C1, reportedly died after a brief illness.
The sad news was confirmed on Wednesday by the Chairman of Ibeju-Lekki Local Government, Sesan Olowa, and his counterpart in Lekki Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Rasaki Kasali.

According to the council chairmen, medical experts pronounced Rufai dead on Tuesday, a development that has left both councils mourning the loss of a promising political figure.
Lagos Reporters will continue to follow developments and provide updates on funeral arrangements and tributes from the political community.
