The Organising Secretary of the Lagos State chapter of the Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Comrade Toba Ajiboye, has reportedly died following a suspected assassination attempt in Lagos.
Ajiboye was said to have come under attack on Sunday night while returning from his childhood neighbourhood in Fadeyi. According to reports, suspected gunmen intercepted his vehicle along the Ikorodu Road corridor and opened fire, leaving the car riddled with bullets.
Images and videos circulating on social media showed his white vehicle with multiple bullet holes in the windscreen and other parts of the body.
Earlier reports suggested that Ajiboye and other occupants of the vehicle survived the attack despite sustaining gunshot wounds. However, fresh reports indicate that the NURTW chieftain later died from injuries he sustained in the shooting.
