Akintoye Benson, an assistant to Musiliu Akinsanya, well known as MC Oluomo, the chairman of the Lagos Chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), is dead.
Benson was reportedly killed in an automobile accident on Third Mainland Bridge on Thursday night. Benson was spotted in a wrecked car in a widely shared video.
Ogunseye Vincent, a friend of the deceased, confirmed his passing on Facebook, writing that Benson was a dynamic man with big dreams and aspirations.
“The news of your passing came to me as a rude shock. You were a vibrant man with high hopes and vision.
“Though the memory we shared remains forever, I take solace in the trust that Olodumare will grant your soul a peaceful rest. Sail well to eternity, Comrade Akintoye Benson (Baba Ogun),” he added.
Until his death, Benson was the chairman of the Tricycle Owners and Operators Association of Nigeria (TOOAN) Zone H.
Efforts to reach Akinsanya for a comment proved abortive as his phone could not be reached as of the time of filing this report.
