The Lagos State Police Command has launched an investigation into the death of Gihan Mbelu who was until his death, the chairman of the Victoria Garden City, VGC in the Lekki area of the state.

He was aged 42.

A financial adviser and venture capitalist, he was found unconscious in his C300 4Matic car around 10.10 am on Friday, April 26, 2024, around VGC and rushed to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH where he was confirmed dead by a doctor on duty.

It was gathered that people decided to inspect his vehicle which had been running for hours at the spot where it was parked.

“Concerned by the discovery, some of the people in the area, upon close observation of the vehicle, found Mbelu in it,” a source revealed.

While some people speculated that the 42-year-old man might be sleeping, some other persons, who were bent on ascertaining Mbelu’s true state, reportedly made frantic efforts to wake him up but it proved abortive.

Mbelu’s corpse has since been deposited in the hospital’s morgue. The case has also been reported to the police and an investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding Mbelu’s death has commenced.

Until his death, Mbelu was married to Eloho, a tech entrepreneur, former investment banker and private equity investor. They have two daughters.

The spokesperson of the state police command, Benjamin Hundeyin while confirming the incident said that investigation has commenced into his death.
