The Chairman of the Lagos State Council of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Mustapha Adekunle Adio, popularly known as Tafa Sego, narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on Saturday night when six armed men stormed his residence in Surulere, Lagos.
According to reliable sources, the assailants arrived at his residence on Gbadamosi Close, Surulere, around 11:00 p.m., armed and with the clear intention of eliminating him. Fortunately, Tafa Sego was not home at the time, having left earlier in the evening to attend an event alongside a few close associates.
Upon arriving, the gunmen encountered only the security guard on duty, whom they tied up before ransacking the house in a desperate search for the union leader.
The attack has sent shockwaves through the neighborhood, leaving residents in fear and raising concerns about potential follow-up attacks. Witnesses described the incident as "unprecedented" and called for increased security presence in the area.
Police officers from the Area C Command have since visited the scene to assess the situation, document evidence, and interrogate the security guard, who reportedly provided key details that could aid the investigation.
A close associate of Alhaji Tafa Sego, while speaking to journalists, confirmed that the unionist is deeply disturbed by the incident, especially as it comes at a time when he is championing reforms aimed at improving the welfare and operations of NURTW members across Lagos State.
The associate further stated that Tafa Sego has vowed to cooperate fully with security agencies to ensure the perpetrators are swiftly apprehended and brought to justice.
