Members of National Union of Road Transport
Workers (NURTW) in Ajase, Irepodun Local
Government Area, Kwara on Saturday blocked the
highway to protest alleged killing of their leader by
the police.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
pandemonium broke out when a middle-aged man
identified as Akeem Laduba, an NURTW leader in
Ajase, was allegedly shot dead by a police patrol
team.
Laduba, who was the Chairman of Ajase-Omu-
Aran-Kabba unit of NURTW was said to have been
killed along Igbaja-Ajase-Ipo Express Way, Kwara.
An eye witness told NAN on condition of anonymity
that the deceased was trying to intervene in a
brawl between the police team and a commercial
motorcyclist.
According to the source, Laduba was on his way to
Offa, a nearby community, when he stumbled on a
police patrol beating up a commercial motorcyclist
in the early hours of Saturday.
The source alleged that it was in the process of the
deceased trying to intervene in the ensuing melee
that he was attacked by the policemen who had
queried the rationale behind his intervention.
According to the source, the victim became
unconscious after he was hit by the bullet and was
immediately rushed to a nearby private hospital by
the police team where he later died.
“Although, I don’t know what the offence of the
commercial motorcyclist was, but he was being
beaten when the man (deceased) tried to save him.
“And in that process, one of the policemen
attacked him, the man retaliated and then the
policemen fired a shot,” the source said.
NAN reports that some members of the union had
in showing their displeasure on the development
stormed and blocked the highway while chanting
war songs.
Vehicles going to the neigbouring Kwara towns
such as Oke-Onigbin, Omu-Aran, Offa and other
states as Otun in Ekiti and Osogbo in Osun were
denied passage by the rampaging union members.
NAN reports that though the members had since
left the highway but vehicles passing the route
were forced to carry leaves on them in sympathy
for the deceased.
The Kwara State Police Public Relation Officer, Mr
Ajayi Okasanmi, while confirming the incident to
NAN, said that the shot fired “was not intentional”.
“It is true a shot was fired by a policeman, but it
was not intentional.
“It was even the police that took the man to the
hospital but unfortunately he died later,” he said.
