Just In: Vetiva Capital co-founder, Laolu Mudashiru killed in hit-and-run

Olaolu Mudashiru, Co-Founder/Deputy Managing Director of Vetiva Capital, one of Nigeria’s leading Capital Management firms is dead.

The businessman/investment banker was reportedly riding a bicycle with a group of cyclists when a car plowed into their bikes on Gerrard Road in the affluent neighborhood of Ikoyi, Lagos, and sped off, leaving them with very serious injuries.

Benjamin Hundeyin, spokesman of the Lagos police command, confirmed the hit-and-run incident.

Hundeyin said the other two persons are “responding to treatment”, adding that no arrest had been made in connection with the incident.

Laolu was also the first son of Gbolahan Mudasiru, former military governor of Lagos state, who died in 2003.
