Nobody expected that she would die when she did. We were told that she was in the clinic to pick some drugs only for her dead body to be found on the floor by a cleaner.”  Another source disclosed that Oriola’s husband, who had waited endlessly for her to return home that Saturday, had gone to check on her at the Assembly, but could not find her car in the car park, adding that he was unaware that she parked at the lawmakers’ car park in the assembly.  The body of the deceased was later conveyed to the morgue in the early hours of yesterday in the assembly’s ambulance, accompanied by some staff of the House, led by the Clerk, Mr. Segun Abiru.  Mr. Musibau Rasak, Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker, Mr. Mubashiru Obasa, who confirmed the report, expressed the condolence of the Speaker to the bereaved family and friends.  He prayed to God to grant the soul of the departed eternal rest.
