Achieftain of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Shamsudeen Oladiti, aka Shamelon, on Wednesday, appeared before the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja Division, over the killing of a dispatch rider, Ramon Imam, at Lewis Street, Lagos Island.

The Lagos government charged the 55-year-old defendant on three counts bordering on involuntary manslaughter, conspiracy, and attempted murder.

Posecution counsel, Jubril Kareem, told Justice Olawale Alebiosu, that the defendant and others still at large, committed the offences between August 27 and September 17, 2025.

According to Mr Kareem, at about 3:00 p.m., on September 17, beat up Mr Imam with fist blows and strikes to his face and head which led to his death, while about 10 a.m., on August 27, the defendant also attempted to kill one Samuel Omale after also beating him up in like manner, inflicting on the victim severe injuries.

The prosecution said the offence violated Sections 224, 411, and 230 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State 2015, but the defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The defence counsel, Olanrewaju Ajanaku, told the court that a bail application dated April 27, 2026, was served on the prosecution counsel who acknowledged receipt but noted that the defence counsel wanted the court to direct the correctional centre to confirm the medical status of the defendant.

The defence counsel, in response, prayed the court to also grant the application.

The judge therefore granted the application and ordered the comptroller of corrections at Kirikiri to confirm the defendant’s medical status at a Lagos government hospital, and adjourned the case until June 15, 2026, for trial.
