The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Ogun State, Barrister Niyi Ijalaye, has reportedly passed away.


Ijalaye reportedly slumped and died on Monday evening in Abuja shortly after attending a meeting of RECs at the Commission's headquarters.


The cause of his death has not been officially disclosed.


It was gathered that the incident took place in his hotel room shortly after he attended a meeting at the Commission’s headquarters.


The meeting, chaired by INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, focused on the upcoming off-cycle governorship elections in Edo and Ondo States, as well as discussions on seven vacant seats in the National and State Assemblies.


The Ondo-born administrator, who had been in high spirits during the Commission's meeting, retired to Bon Octagon Hotel in the Federal Capital Territory, where the incident took place.

During the meeting, Barrister Ijalaye, dressed in a blue-striped kaftan and a red cap, was captured in one of the photos posted by the Commission on its timeline.


Barrister Ijalaye had been posted to Ogun State in March 2022 following the transfer of Olusegun Agbaje to Lagos State.
