Late APC faithful Comfort Funmilayo Adebanjo
The All Progressives Congress has confirmed the death of one of its members, Comfort Funmilayo Adebanjo, and six others in the bid to purchase seized rice put on sale by the Nigeria Customs Service.
It would be recalled that the Controller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, flagged off the sake of the rice.
Adeniyi performed the ceremony at the Yaba, Lagos State office of the service.
Since the flag off of the sale, several Nigerians have been thronging the venue in Lagos, with similar exercises around the country.
