A 55-year-old National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) chieftain, Shamsudeen Oladiti, on Wednesday appeared before an Ikeja High Court over alleged involuntary manslaughter of a dispatch rider.
Oladiti is standing trial on a three-count charge of involuntary manslaughter, conspiracy and attempted murder, preferred against him by the state government.
The State Counsel, Mr Jubril Kareem, told the court that the defendant and others still at large committed the offences between Aug. 27 and Sept. 17, 2025, on Lewis Street, Lagos Island.
Kareem said the defendant, on Sept. 17, 2025, at about 3.00 p.m., allegedly caused the death of Ramon Imam by beating him with his fist and repeatedly striking his head and face.
