NURTW Accuses Oyo Attorney-General Of Misrepresenting Appeal Court Judgment, Demands Return To Motor Parks

The meeting followed a request by the union for police protection to enable it resume unrestricted operations in motor parks across Oyo State.

The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Oyo State Branch, has accused the Oyo State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice of deliberately misrepresenting a subsisting Court of Appeal judgment, insisting that the ruling restored the union's right to resume operations in motor parks and garages across the state.

In a letter dated June 26, 2026, addressed to the Attorney-General and signed by Chukwuma H. Onwuemene of Falana & Falana's Chambers, the union alleged that the state's Chief Law Officer had distorted the meaning of the appellate court's decision during a recent multi-stakeholder meeting convened by the Oyo State Commissioner of Police.

The meeting followed a request by the union for police protection to enable it resume unrestricted operations in motor parks across Oyo State.

According to the union, the Attorney-General argued at the meeting that the Court of Appeal judgment did not empower the NURTW to resume operations or restore it to its former position in the state's motor parks.
