According to reports, Oke was allegedly paid to track the NURTW chief’s activities. His image quickly went viral, sparking reactions from fans and netizens who expressed shock at the betrayal.
Ajiboye, aged 43, was ambushed on Sunday, July 12, by unidentified gunmen in Fadeyi. His vehicle was riddled with bullets, and he later succumbed to his injuries.
On Tuesday, hundreds of family members, colleagues, and supporters gathered in tears to bid farewell to the Organising Secretary of the Lagos State National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). Viral videos showed mourners overcome with grief as they surrounded his remains.
For a man whose name inspired fear across motor parks and political circles, the manner of his killing bore the hallmarks of an execution. Observers noted that it was designed not only to eliminate him but also to send a chilling message.
Alleged Betrayal
Sources close to the deceased revealed that Ajiboye’s death may have been preceded by betrayal from someone he trusted. A source told Saturday Punch:
“On Sunday, Toba came to see some elderly people and parked outside. The informant took pictures of the front and back of his vehicle and sent them to people waiting on the expressway. He also sent a voice note informing them that Toba was alone with his driver and would soon come out. Toba came out and even gave him N5,000, not knowing that he was there to monitor him.”

Detectives later arrested Oke and his wife. Another individual, identified simply as Suko, who allegedly financed parts of the operation, reportedly fled Nigeria.
Adding another layer to the investigation, a voice note played to Saturday Punch appeared to capture a conversation in which an unidentified caller informed another person that Ajiboye was about to leave the premises he had visited.
