Gunmen kill NURTW official Toba Ijaya
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Toba Ajiboye, popularly known as Ijaya and the Organising Secretary of the NURTW Lagos State Council, died after armed men intercepted and opened fire on his vehicle along the Ikorodu Road axis while he was returning home from a visit to his childhood neighbourhood in Fadeyi.
Images and videos circulating after the attack showed the white vehicle riddled with bullet holes, while early accounts suggested that Ajiboye and others inside survived with injuries before later reports confirmed that the union official succumbed to his wounds; the identities of the attackers have not yet been established.
Lagos NURTW chairman Alhaji Mustapha Adekunle, popularly known as Sego, later mourned Ajiboye in a tribute, describing him as a loyal friend, dependable ally and committed pillar of the union and their shared political structure, while extending his condolences to the deceased’s family, friends and the wider NURTW community.
