The accident was allegedly caused by the high-speed convoy of an as-yet-unidentified individual. Eyewitnesses described the convoy as “reckless” and “overspeeding” when it collided with the vehicle in which Temi boarded.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Temi, who would have celebrated her birthday on June 25, was remembered by friends and community members as warm, soft-spoken, and deeply caring, especially toward children. Many have paid tribute, describing her as a peaceful individual who was widely loved.

She is survived by her children and other family members.
