Davido’s Signee, Logos Olori Escapes Death In Car Accident

Nigerian singer and rapper Logos Olori recently encountered a harrowing car accident in Lekki, Lagos, on a Sunday.

The artist, signed under Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), confirmed the incident through an Instagram post. He shared images of the damaged vehicle and expressed gratitude for his life, mentioning that his label boss, Davido, pledged to replace the car.

In addition to sharing this update, Olori called for government attention to fix the deteriorated condition of the Lekki road, where the accident occurred. He wrote, 'Thank God for life. Only one Godfather 001 @davido. New car is on the way. Let's hope they address the Lekki road.'

This incident comes after Logos Olori's debut single 'Jaye Lo' music video stirred controversy in July. The video featured scenes of people praying and dancing in front of a mosque, which received criticism, especially from the Muslim community, which found it disrespectful to their faith. In response, DMW boss Davido removed the video from his social media pages and created a new one for his artist.

LCC To Resume Toll Operations At Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge

The Lekki Concession Company (LCC) has announced the commencement of toll operations at the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge plaza in Lagos.

LCC had suspended operations at the Lekki tollgate after the shooting of protesters during the #EndSARS protest on October 20, 2020.

Some facilities at the toll plaza were also destroyed during the protest.

In February 2021, the state judicial panel had approved the reopening of the tollgate, but the ruling met objections in some quarters.

In a statement, the company said tolling operations will commence on April 1.

The LCC said commuters plying the road will not pay any toll for the first two weeks until 15th April 2022 “as this period would be toll-free to all motorists plying the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge”.

According to Yomi Omomuwasan, LCC’s managing director, the resumption of services at the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge Toll Plaza is coming after extensive consultations with key stakeholders including the residents’ associations, traditional rulers and community leaders, professional bodies, as well as the Lagos government.
