Chief Omolafe Aderiye, immediate past
chairman of the, National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Ekiti
State, was last night murdered.
Details of his death were sketchy as at
press time, but the common rumour was that it (the murder) might not be
unconnected with the agitation by a section of members for a change in
the union’s leadership, a plan reportedly favoured by the late Aderiye.
The late Aderiye, popularly called
Lafeade, who runs a transport company in Ado Ekiti, was described as an
easy going person and a focussed and compassionate leader whose tenure
was popular with transporters.
The late Aderiye was seen in the morning
in front of the Ekiti State High Court, Ado-Ekiti, where a tribunal was
hearing the case between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the governor-elect, Mr. Ayodele
Fayose.
A police source confirmed Aderiye’s murder last night.
