NURTW factions clash in Ibadan

Rival factions of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, in Oyo State yesterday ruptured the peace in the state as they engaged each other in a shoot out at Dugbe-Inalende, Ibadan causing stampede in the ever busy Dugbe market.

It was the convoy of the governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi and his Imo state counterpart, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, that  dislodged the hoodlums.

According to a release issued by the Special Adviser to the Governor of Oyo State, Dr. Festus Adedayo, the hoodlums had been having a field day in the area shooting guns and wielding machetes before the arrival of the governors.
