It captures Toba Ijaya in the middle of a noisy gathering, trying to calm tensions as voices rose around him.

In the footage, he is seen alongside other NURTW members, who appeared to be at loggerheads while communicating in their native language. The atmosphere was tense, with Toba Ijaya attempting to address the situation amid the commotion.

How Toba Ijaya was killed

Ajiboye died on Tuesday, July 14, after sustaining gunshot wounds during an attack by yet-to-be-identified gunmen.

The incident reportedly occurred on Sunday night as he returned from his childhood neighbourhood in Fadeyi.

The assailants allegedly intercepted his vehicle around Ikorodu Road and opened fire, leaving the white car riddled with bullet holes.

Although initial reports suggested that Ajiboye and other occupants survived the attack, later updates confirmed that the NURTW official succumbed to his injuries.
