On Saturday, September 16, while he attended to a bus he had flagged down at Orile bus stop in Lagos State, the father-of-three was crushed to death by a trailer.
Efforts have been made to capture the Mack truck driver who caused the collision, according to the police.
Ajomole and his wife reportedly welcomed their third kid just two months ago, according to sources.
Friends have posted condolences on Facebook for the officer.
In a statement on Sunday, the spokeswoman of the FRSC in Lagos State, Olabisi Sonusi, stated ;
“The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Lagos State Sector Command wishes to confirm that the crash video being circulated on social media involves one of the personnel of the Corps, Marshal Abiodun Ajomole of the Costain Unit Command, who was attending to a vehicle when a Mack truck lost control and rammed into him. The immediate cause of the crash was brake failure.
“The incident occurred around Orile/Iganmu Bridge, where the team led by DRC MT KPASSU was carrying out scheduled patrol activities when the unfortunate incident occurred at about 1420 hrs on Saturday, September 16, 2023.”

She added: “Investigations carried out so far indicated that the affected Marshal was attending to an LT Volkswagen bus with registration number AKD 108 XY blue colour when a Mack truck with no number plate attached failed to brake and rammed into the LT Volkswagen the Marshal was attending to.
“This forcefully crashed the LT bus and caused the LT Bus to ram the Marshal against a stationary Matrix tanker by the roadside, thereby squeezing him to death.”
She continued: “The Orile Police Division, which was immediately notified of the incident, mobilised its personnel while the LASTMA officials equally rushed to the scene for rescue operations.”
Sonusi stated ;
“The three (3) vehicles involved in the crash have been towed to Oril Iganmu police division, while the remains of the Marshal have been deposited at the Yaba mortuary,”
While expressing his condolences to the deceased’s family, Lagos State Sector Commander Corps Commander Babatunde Farinloye prayed to God for the strength to help them cope with their irreplaceable loss.
