How Bumpa’s Founder Adetunji Opayele Died, Family Demands Justice

Family Demands Justice after tragic incident took the life of Bumpa’s founder Adetunji Opayele, reveals how female driver allegedly attempted to flee

The tragic death of Adetunji “Teejay” Opayele, Co-founder and CTO of Bumpa, has sparked outrage, with family and friends demanding justice.

On March 4, 2025, Teejay was riding home on his power bike after a workout at iFitness gym, Victoria Island, Lagos, when Biola Adams-Odutayo, driving a vehicle with license plate LND *** JR, allegedly merged onto Ozumba Mbadiwe Road without yielding, crashing into him.

Despite wearing full protective gear, Teejay was left unconscious. Witnesses claim Biola, a healthcare professional, refused to check on him, ignoring pleas from bystanders and allegedly stating she didn’t want “blood to stain her car.” Instead, she remained on a phone call for over 30 minutes while good Samaritans struggled to get Teejay medical help.

Teejay was taken to two hospitals, both of which allegedly refused to admit him. Rescuers finally forced Biola to accompany them to another hospital to prevent further rejection, but by the time they arrived, he was pronounced d+ad.

Since the accident, Biola has allegedly used her connections to avoid facing the full weight of the law. She was initially detained for only one night and charged merely with reckless driving, despite public outrage. Released on ₦1 million bail, her failure to appear at a police summons on March 17 has intensified demands for accountability.

Teejay’s family insists Biola must face manslaughter charges and is calling on the Lagos State Ministry of Justice to ensure a transparent legal process. They are also urging the Inspector General of Police and the Lagos State Commissioner of Police to prevent a cover-up.

The public is urged to share Teejay’s story and provide any relevant information from the accident scene. Anyone with details can reach out via @justiceforteejay on Facebook, X, Threads, or Instagram.
