Union Showdown: Baruwa Faction Seizes NURTW Secretariat, Ousts MC Oluomo
A fresh leadership crisis has erupted in the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) as the faction led by Tajudeen Baruwa reportedly took control of the union’s national secretariat.
In a dramatic move, the group announced the removal of Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, from his position.
Sources within the union said the takeover followed escalating tensions between rival factions battling for control of the organisation.
The Baruwa-led faction accused the former leadership of misconduct and insisted that its actions were necessary to restore order and proper administration within the union.
The development has heightened concerns over possible unrest among members, given the influence of the union in transport operations across Nigeria.
Observers say the latest twist could lead to further disputes or legal battles as both sides attempt to assert legitimacy.
Security agencies are expected to monitor the situation closely to prevent any breakdown of law and order.
