My Taofeek oyerinde Fele is dead according to a popular radio station here in ibadan. May his soul rest in peace Amen

Blood of the innocent ones they have killed crying for justice

It is a big shock. Anyone currently in ibadan can testify

There was anxiety across Oyo State on Tuesday
as news broke of the death of the Chairman,
National Union of Road Transport Workers
(NURTW) in the state, Alh. Taofeek Oyerinde
(aka Fele).
Though details of his reported death were
scanty as at press time, The Nation learnt that
the National President of the union, Alhaji
Yasin and other Stakeholders have announced
the appointment of the Vice Chairman of the
union in Oyo State, Alhaji Abideen Olajide
( a.k.a Ejiogbe) as the Acting Chairman.
A reliable source close to the late commercial
drivers’ boss confirmed his death to The
Nation Tuesday.
Ibadan residents were gripped with fear on
receiving the news as many of them made calls
to their loved ones to avoid popular dangerous
spots for NURTW members such as Iwo Road
Interchange, Gate and Molete, suspecting that
some members of the union might embark on
violent activities on confirming the death and
subsequent appointment.
Oyerinde was said to have had serious issues
with his health, making him pay frequent visits
to the hospital in the last one year.
Fele officially succeeded Alh. Lateef Akinsola
(aka Tokyo) in 2011 after years of violent
supremacy battle between Alh. Mukaila Lamidi
(aka Auxilliary) and Alh. Lateef (aka Eleweomo).
The latter was killed during a political violence
late 2010 at the height of the supremacy battle
while Auxilliary is currently serving a jail term
for criminal offenses.
Fele was chosen to head the troubled union to
stamp out violence for which the union was
known in Oyo State in the previous two
decades.
Until his death, Fele was the Vice Chairman of
the Union in Southwest Nigeria.
