A private school in Fadeyi, Lagos, was temporarily shut on Tuesday to honour the late Organising Secretary of the Lagos State chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Toba Ajiboye, popularly known as Toba Ijaya, who was buried earlier in the day.
In a video obtained by PUNCH Online, Great Josade School, located in Ereko, Fadeyi, where Ajiboye’s house is situated, suspended academic activities as a mark of respect for the slain union leader.
A banner displayed at the entrance of the school announced the closure, bearing Ajiboye’s photograph alongside an obituary message.
The inscription on the banner read, “Please no school tomorrow in order to honour our amiable brother and father.”
Family members, colleagues, friends and supporters had earlier gathered in Ketu, Lagos, to bid farewell to Ajiboye during his burial, with videos circulating on social media showing emotional scenes as mourners paid their last respects.
