Some yet-to-be identified hoodlums have reportedly killed Kazeem Oyewole, a former unit chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), in Osogbo, the Osun State capital. Oyewole was attacked around Elelede Junction on Sunday afternoon. He previously served as the part-time chairman of the NURTW Aregbe unit between 2018 and 2022.
The circumstances surrounding his death remained unclear as of press time. However, a resident who witnessed the incident from a distance and requested anonymity for security reasons told Punch that some hoodlums had stationed themselves at Elelede Junction, allegedly extorting money from passersby under the pretext of raising funds for a proposed carnival.
