The Pitstop Lagos Cycling and Wellness community has commemorated the life of Dr. Olaolu Mudashiru, fondly known as Dr. Bob, who was killed in a hit-and-run accident two years ago.

During a memorial ride held on Sunday, the community honored Dr. Bob’s legacy and demanded justice for his untimely death.Founder of Pitstop Lagos, Aminadab Allen Adegboro, dedicated the end-of-year criterium to Dr. Bob’s memory.

“Dr. Bob was a key member of our community, extremely disciplined with the sport, and a patron dedicated to cycling. Unfortunately, he passed on in the most tragic way. It is a no-brainer for us to dedicate our end-of-year criterium to him. He was a lover of the sport and a key member of the Pitstop Community.”

Bright Emmanuel, a member of the Pitstop Community and survivor of the accident, expressed frustration at the lack of progress in finding the hit-and-run driver. “It’s so sad, painful, and unfair. For two years, there’s no trace of the driver.”

Ebiaho Emafo, his, friend, criticised the investigative capacity in Nigeria.

“In other climes, you’d typically find the perpetrators within two years. It’s very sad that nothing has been found, and nobody has been held accountable.”

The memorial ride featured a 30-lap race, with winners receiving cash prizes. Preye John Dede emerged first, winning N2,000,000, followed by Zakariyau Faruq, N1,500,000; Azeez Akande, N1,200,000; Deinabobo Johnbull, N1,000,000 and Odebiyi Azeez, N800,000.

The Pitstop Community’s tribute to Dr. Bob celebrated his dedication to cycling and his impact on the community.

As the community continues to seek justice, they remember Dr. Bob’s passion for cycling and his legacy within the Pitstop Lagos family.
