Some yet-to-be-identified gunmen have shot dead Toba Ajiboye, the Organising Secretary of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Lagos State Council.
Ajiboye, popularly known as Ijaya, was shot on Sunday, July 12, while returning to his residence from his childhood neighbourhood in Fadeyi, Lagos.
According to sources, the gunmen ambushed his vehicle along the Ikorodu Road axis and opened fire on him.
Photos and videos from the scene showed his white vehicle riddled with multiple bullet holes, particularly on the windscreen and body.
