An e- e-hailing driver, identified as Yusfat Ayinde was murdered after receiving a riding request from the assailant who ambushed, stabbed and fled with his car .
While speaking with the media, the chairman of the Lagos State chapter of the Amalgamated Union of App-Based Transporters of Nigeria Comrade Jaiyesinmi Azeez identified Yusfat Olawale Ayinde as a member, and the admin of a body of Professional Chauffeur in the state.
He added that Ayinde received the ride request through the e-hailing app and arrived at the designated pickup location. “However, upon arrival, he was confronted by a group of hoodlums who had apparently set a trap for him.
The assailants fatally stabbed Ayinda and subsequently stole his vehicle.”
“The task force is currently working in collaboration with the family and other authorities to gather evidence and identify the app through which the ride request was made. Efforts are being made to track down the assailants and bring them to justice.”
“The task force will coordinate with law enforcement to enhance investigative efforts and leverage technology in tracking the assailants.”
Comrade Azeez noted that the union will continue to support the late drivers family and give them the necessary support.
