Lagos: NURTW Chairman condemns attack on female driver, vows justice
The Chairman of the Lagos State Council of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Mustapha Adekunle Adio, widely known as Tafa Sego, has strongly condemned the recent assault on Miss Yetunde Amole, a female driver who was brutalised by a street thug in the Ajah area of Lagos.
Receiving Miss Amole at the union’s headquarters in Oko Oba, Agege, Adio expressed outrage over the incident and offered his full support.
He made it clear that the union does not tolerate violence or intimidation, especially against law-abiding drivers going about their daily work.
“The individual who assaulted Miss Amole is not a member of our union. He is a well-known area boy and not affiliated with the NURTW in any capacity,” Adio said.
Miss Amole had visited the NURTW headquarters to formally report her ordeal, a move that Adio praised as brave and necessary.
In response, he reassured her and all commercial drivers that the union is committed to protecting its members and partners from harassment.
“No genuine member of this union has any business with harassment or misconduct,” Adio stated. “Our members are trained to conduct themselves with discipline and respect.”
He lauded the swift intervention of the Lagos State Government in apprehending the suspect and emphasized that the union would continue to work closely with authorities to ensure justice is served.
“We will ensure that Yetunde Amole gets justice in this instance. This will serve as a strong warning to others not to harass any driver in the state,” he declared.
Adio concluded with a firm warning to union members: misconduct will not be tolerated under his leadership.
He also urged the public to show greater respect for commercial drivers, many of whom face daily risks just to earn a living.
