The Lagos State Police Command said it will on Friday, September 26, arraign a National Union of Road Transport Workers leader, Shamsideen Adio, popularly known as Shameleon, over the alleged killing of a dispatch rider in Lagos Island.

Fifty-five year old Adio, arrested after he allegedly descended on the victim during a scuffle on Tapa Street, Lagos Island, on September 17, 2025, accused the victim of scratching his vehicle, beating him mercilessly, and leaving the victim seriously injured.

According to eyewitnesses, the rider was struck repeatedly with a helmet and fists until he collapsed. Though he was rushed to the hospital, he later died from injuries sustained in the attack.

Meanwhile, the Lagos State House of Assembly has also waded into the matter, insisting that the suspect and his accomplices must be prosecuted.
