OSOGBO — Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has condemned the violence that trailed a clash between rival factions of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in the state, directing security agencies to arrest a factional leader of the union, Kazeem Oyewole, popularly known as Asiri Eniba.
A faction of the NURTW had earlier on Monday staged a protest against the leadership of Nurudeen Wakili, also known as Alowonle, accusing him of turning the union into a platform for political violence and creating an unsafe environment for transport operators.
Reacting to the violence that followed the protest, Governor Adeleke, through a statement issued by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, expressed concern that a transport union disagreement could escalate into a threat to public peace.
The governor said his administration might reconsider its support for the union and reintroduce the Park Management System across motor parks in the state if the crisis persists.
