The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) Lagos State branch, on Friday wrote to the State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu to investigate the activities of some unscrupulous elements harassing its members.
The letter, which was dated October 28, 2022, said the union is deeply constrained to bring to the Governor’s urgent attention, the unwholesome activities of some criminal elements parading themselves along the Lekki Free Trade Zone road, Eleko Ibeju, Lekki, as community youths under the name of Indigenous Unity Forum.
The association alleged that the youths had been intimidating and extorting money from petroleum truck drivers, who are NUPENG/PTD members plying the road.
The statement partly read; “We have no other duty and obligation than to demand that your Excellency should as matter of urgency put a final stop to the unwholesome activities of these criminals and similar elements across the State, otherwise we would have no other options than to direct our members, that, for the sake of safety to their lives and properties, to stay off the entire Lagos State until sanity, law and order are restored.”
