As of the time of filing this report, the family has yet to officially announce the development.

Akintelure last week in a statement raised the alarm that unnamed persons were threatening his life over the forthcoming governorship election in the state.

He was the running mate to the late Oluwarotimi Akeredolu during the 2012 governorship election lost by the late governor under the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).
