Chairmen of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) across Nigerian states and the FCT have reaffirmed their loyalty to Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, amidst an ongoing internal leadership dispute.

The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has expressed outrage over the alleged invasion and takeover of its national secretariat in Abuja, describing the incident as illegal and disturbing amidst an ongoing leadership tussle.

MC Oluomo has declared he remains the President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) following a takeover of the national secretariat by Tajudeen Baruwa’s faction, citing ongoing legal appeals.

Baruwa has taken control of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) National Secretariat, dislodging MC Oluomo, following a series of court rulings that affirmed Baruwa as the union’s legitimate president.

Tajudeen Baruwa’s lawyer has called for the arrest of MC Oluomo and demanded the enforcement of court rulings amidst the ongoing crisis within the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Nigeria.

Security operatives have cordoned off the national secretariat of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Abuja, as an intensifying leadership crisis within the union escalates.

The lawyer for Baruwa, a figure in the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), warned that the ongoing crisis within the union will be prolonged if authorities fail to enforce court judgments, some of which have been pending for over two and a half years.

The FCT Police Command in Nigeria denied social media claims that its officers shot at members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) at their Garki II headquarters, confirming seven arrests were made.

Tajudeen Baruwa has taken control of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) secretariat, effectively ending the leadership crisis by unseating MC Oluomo following favorable court judgments.
