Following the assassination attempt by gunmen who stormed the National Union Road of Transport Worker NURTW branch office in Lagos Island in January, Alhaji Azeez Lawal, friends and members of NURTW Lagos Island all stormed the mosque at Apogbon to thank God for sparing his life.

The gruesome attack led to the death of Ganiyu Ayinla alias Piero, the personal assistant to the NURTW chairman in Idumota, Azeez Lawal (AKA Kunle Poly). Piero was killed on January 23 during an attack on Kunle Poly as the duo wanted to enter a vehicle after attending a meeting on Lagos Island.
