Tuesday, March, 24 2026 - On Monday, police arrested Tajudeen Baruwa after he led members of his faction in seizing the national secretariat of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).
The arrest came just hours after Baruwa, alongside his
supporters, stormed the union’s headquarters in Abuja to take control from the
faction headed by MC Oluomo.
The faction of the NURTW under Baruwa took over the
national secretariat in the early hours of Monday, following the dramatic
invasion of the premises.
The NURTW factions led by Baruwa and Ayinde Akinsanya,
popularly known as MC Oluomo, have been involved in an internal leadership
tussle since 2024.
Members of the NURTW had elected MC Olumo as National
President in November 2024.
However, the court ruled in favor of Baruwa when the dispute
led to a lawsuit.
