Eko Hot Blog reports that Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has warned transport union workers in the state to shun violence.
No fewer than eight persons were reportedly killed on Sunday in Osogbo, the state capital, after violence erupted following Adeleke’s inauguration ceremony.
The perpetrators were suspected to be NURTW members, who went on rampage at Olaiya, Old Garage, Okefia area of Osogbo.
In a statement issued on Monday by the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, he appealed to the warring parties to remain calm and channel their grievances to the appropriate authorities.
He also directed union leaders and relevant security agencies to maintain status quo across the motor parks.
“All union leaders and their supporters are hereby directed to remain calm and bring any grievances to the State Government for resolution,” the statement reads in part.
“Security agencies are consequently directly to maintain law and order.”
