Suspected hoodlums have killed a 28-year-old leader of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Lagos State, Kunle Ajibade.
It was gathered that the assailants stabbed Kunle at his house in Ijeshatedo area of Surulere, trailed him to a hospital where he was receiving treatment and shot him multiple times.
The victim’s brother, Kehinde, said Kunle was being rushed to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital when he died.
The circumstances surrounding Kunle’s death started during a celebration tagged Prosper Day held last Saturday on Ijikoyijo Street, Ijeshatedo, where the deceased was the vice-chairman of the NURTW.
Members of two rival gangs reportedly attended the party to also catch fun. While one of the gang members was led by a man identified as My Son, the other gang was led by a transport worker identified as Kolom.
Kehinde said trouble started when one Malik, a member of Kolom’s gang, started misbehaving after drinking to a stupor around 10pm.
