The former Chairman of Ekiti wing of National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, and a Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain, Chief Omolafe Aderiye, was yesterday killed by unknown assassins.
Aderiye was a strong supporter of the state’s governor-elect, Mr. Ayo Fayose.
Though the circumstances leading to his death remained sketchy at press time, the former NURTW boss was said to have been gunned down at his office in Matthew Street, Ado Ekiti, at about 8.30p.m.
Aderiye had accompanied Fayose to virtually all the towns and villages during his campaigns for the governorship election.
A visit to his Matthew Street office by Vanguard saw a large number of symphatisers, family members, friends and relations wailing.
