By Adeola Ogunrinde –

The Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA) on Tuesday said the agency was still in shock after receiving the news of the death of its Director, Serifat Olubukola Talabi.

In a statement by the Public Relations Officer of LASRRA, Basirat Lawal, the agency expressed deep sadness over the development.

“We are still in shock after receiving the news. She came to the office on Friday. Everything was set for her retirement on October 22, 2025. She was supposed to retire on October 13, 2025, when she clocked 60, but our General Manager, Mrs. Bilikiss Adebiyi-Abiola, was not around, so we postponed it to October 22, 2025. The agency will attend her burial,” Lawal said.

“She was posted to LASRRA in 2018 and became a director in 2025,” she added.

The late Talabi was knocked down by a vehicle on October 18, 2025, while crossing the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway around the camp of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in the Ibafo area of Ogun State.

Talabi, the Director of Procurement at the Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA), had printed invitation cards for her “Thanksgiving, Retirement, and 60th Birthday” celebration scheduled for October 22, 2025, at 11 a.m. at the NERDC Conference Centre, NERDC Road, adjacent to the Fela Shrine in Ikeja, Lagos State.

The wake for the late Talabi will be held on October 23, 2025, while the burial service is scheduled for October 24, 2025. Both events will take place at 10 Ore-Ofe Street, Ara Hall Bus Stop, Ibafo, Ogun State.
