There was anxiety in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital last night over the health of a former leader of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in the state Alh. Lateef Akinsola (aka Tokyo).

Akinsola was reported to have died earlier in the day with sympathizers trooping to his Akobo, Ibadan house for condolence.

But as this Medium is known for Integrity in its reportage swang into actions to verify the authenticity of the death report while one of his sons, whose name could not be confirmed, told the Press that the report was untrue. Instead of giving details of his father’s situation, he sent a video recorded by ace Fuji star King Wasiu Ayinde to our reporter.

The Fuji superstar debunked the report as unfounded in a solo praise of Akinsola, who is one of his famous fans in Ibadan.

Officials of the union in the state were unavailable for comments.

END.
