Ondo NURTW Deputy-Chairman Beaten-up By Hoodlums

The crisis rocking the Ondo State chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) deepened at the weekend. Its Deputy Chairman, Apostle Omobomi Ajisafe, was beaten by hoodlums allegedly sent by the Chairman, Chief Oladutele Obayoriade.

The national executive of the union had invited the state executive to Abuja last Thursday over allegation of ticket racketeering.

Ajisafe, who went to resume work on Friday after the Abuja meeting at the state secretariat at Omolere, Akure, the state capital, was molested.

Ajisafe was invited to a liquor joint bar another unionist, who then allegedly ordered his “boys” to beat him (Ajisafe) up. The ‘boys’ were said to have injured Ajisafe and his driver.

Ajisafe was hospitalised at the Specialist Hospital, Akure.
