Panic as MC Oluomo, Istijaba’s boys clash in Lagos

 


Suspected loyalists of the suspended Lagos State Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo, and members of the Tricycle Owners and Operators Association of Nigeria, headed by Istijaba whose real name is Azeez Abiola, clashed on Friday in the Meiran–Ijaiye axis and Ekoro road in the Abule-Egba area of Lagos State.


According to PUNCH, resident of the area, who is an official of Alimisho Local Government, said; “The NURTW boys came and were chased away by Keke Napep boys. The police came around and stopped what could have been a major fight. We hope that the fight ends there.


“We are no longer safe in this area. I suggest the police station their officers here permanently.”


A trader in the area said the clash was a minor one.


“The NURTW people came around this morning and were sent away by Keke Napep boys. Then, the police came. Nobody was injured. It’s just a minor fight. Everything is fine now,” she said.


MuchTalksBlog recalls that loyalists of MC Oluomo, and Istijaba are at loggerheads over the control of the area.


The State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the clash, tweeted, “Men of nearby divisions and the RRS are fully on the ground, and the areas are absolutely calm.”
