A new image showing the late National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) organising secretary, Toba Ajiboye, popularly known as Toba Ijaya, in hospital after he was shot has surfaced online.

In the image, Toba could be seen covered in blood and appearing distressed as he received medical attention following the attack.
The NURTW chieftain was reportedly shot by yet-to-be-identified gunmen on Sunday, July 12, while returning from his childhood neighbourhood in Fadeyi.
He later died on Tuesday, July 14, after sustaining gunshot wounds.
Toba Ijaya's associate offers different perspective
However, Yeye Kudi has now suggested that the gunshot wounds may not have been the only factor involved in the NURTW chieftain’s death.
According to him, the images suggested that Toba may have survived the initial shooting but later succumbed to the severity of his injuries and possible underlying health conditions.
“This is Toba's picture while he was in the hospital. Inferences from the pictures indicate that Toba survived the gunshots but succumbed to the severity of the injury, which can occur due to underlying factors such as high blood pressure and other illnesses,” he wrote.
