NURTW leader killed as cultists clash in Lagos

A National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) leader at Mile 12, Lagos, Suleman Lawal alias Akiru, was yesterday killed after violence broke out in the area.

It was gathered that the violence was as a result of lingering rivalry between the Aiye and Eiye cult groups.

Residents and motorists in the area who took to social media to request intervention by security operatives, expressed fears over escalation of the situation.
