A haunting hospital photograph of late National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) organising secretary Toba Ajiboye, popularly known as Toba Ijaya, taken after he was shot, has surfaced online, with his associate offering a different perspective on what may have ultimately caused his death.
The image was shared by his associate, Yeye Kudi, about a week after the NURTW chieftain passed away.
In the photograph, Toba could be seen covered in blood and visibly distressed as he received medical attention following the attack.
The NURTW chieftain was reportedly shot by yet-to-be-identified gunmen on Sunday, July 12, while returning from his childhood neighbourhood in Fadeyi, and later died on Tuesday, July 14, after sustaining gunshot wounds.
However, Yeye Kudi has now suggested that the gunshot wounds may not have been the only factor involved in his death.
According to him, the images indicated that Toba may have initially survived the shooting but later succumbed to the combined severity of his injuries and possible underlying health conditions.
He wrote:
“This is Toba’s picture while he was in the hospital. Inferences from the pictures indicate that Toba survived the gunshots but succumbed to the severity of the injury, which can occur due to underlying factors such as high blood pressure and other illnesses.”
The revelation has added a fresh dimension to the circumstances surrounding the NURTW chieftain’s death, with many followers and associates continuing to mourn his loss online.
