The acting administrator of the Lagos chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Oluwaseyi Bankole, has accused the chairman of the Parks Management Committee, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly called MC Oluomo, of seizing the union’s secretariat and chasing away staff of NURTW from the premises, with claims that he got an order from the State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to convert the office into park and garages complex.
The Trumpet reports that he disclosed that all property of NURTW inside the secretariat had been converted to Lagos State Parks and Garages Authority and that MC Oluomo went as far as removing the name of the union from the building, using paints. Bankole said the 11 vehicles belonging to NURTW were also seized by MC Oluomo and that he also barred the union members from entering the premises, including himself, the Acting Administrator.

Speaking exclusively on the new developments, the acting administrator revealed that the chairman of Lagos State Parks Management Committee took over the premises two days before he was announced as head of the committee by the state government and that his team had been causing violence in the area where the union office is located.
Bankole claimed that the Secretariat had been placed under siege by MC Oluomo after deploying members of Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), and other armed men to ensure that no one gained entrance into the premises without his directives.
