Mrs. Christiana Akingboye, widow of the late Bamidele Akingboye, former Ondo State SDP governorship aspirant, has described the final legal advice from the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) as a source of relief, ending months of suspicion and emotional strain following her husband’s death.

Speaking at a press conference in Lagos, Mrs. Akingboye confirmed that the DPP, in advice dated January 5, 2026, found no case against her, her children, or any member of their household.

“The Lagos State Government has concluded its independent review and cleared us of any wrongdoing. There is no case to answer. No foul play was established, and no prosecution should proceed against my family,” she said.

She noted that the decision vindicated her family’s position since her husband’s death on September 3, 2025, and highlighted the emotional toll of public scrutiny during a period when they should have been allowed to grieve.

“Before we could mourn, we were pushed into the public space to defend our integrity and our love for the man we lost,” she said.

Despite the difficult period, Mrs. Akingboye emphasized that her family fully cooperated with investigators. She appealed to the public and media for privacy to allow the family to heal, cautioning against assumptions that could stigmatize mental health conditions.

The DPP’s advice, signed by Dr. Babajide Martins, concluded that post-mortem findings revealed no injuries suggesting third-party involvement, meaning no prima facie case existed against the widow or her family.

Family counsel Dr. Abiodun Adesanya affirmed that the decision followed a thorough review of medical records, witness statements, and other evidence.

“The conclusion was clear and unequivocal: no case, no foul play, no prosecution,” he said, noting that the family endured months of unjust public suspicion during a time of profound loss.
