The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Adekunle Ajisebutu, on Wednesday, has assured Lagosians over the planned protest of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW ) in strategic places in the State.

“We cannot take chances. We have done massive deployment of police patrol teams to every nook and cranny including parks and garages in the state. There is no cause for alarm.”

In his statement, he mentioned that an official of the union did not return calls and text messages as of the time of filing this report.

Recall that last Thursday, the national body of the union suspended its Lagos State Chairman, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly called MC Oluomo, following weeks of protracted conflict and leadership clash.

However, Lagos State Governor, His Excellency, Babajide Sanwo-Olu , thereafter suspended the activities of the Union from all parks and garages and organize a committee to immediately control the parks and garages.

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Council Group of Elders of NURTW, in a letter on Monday, asked the national body of the union in Abuja to withdraw the suspension of Akinsanya within seven days.
