NURTW in free-for-all fight, one person reportedly killed in Ondo

Members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) engaged themselves in a free-for-all fight in Akure, Ondo State capital.

Many people were said to be injured and property destroyed as factional members of the union engaged themselves in a free-for-all fight.

There was also pandemonium as motorists and their passengers abandoned their vehicles and took to their heels as members of the NURTW freely used guns, charms and other dangerous weapons during the fight which started around 8 am.

It was gathered that one person has been shot dead during the fracas and vehicles were prevented from entering the Akure metropolis while passengers were left stranded on the road.

The cause of the fight is yet to be ascertained, but it might not be unconnected to leadership tussle rocking the drivers’ union in the state.
