BREAKING: Scores Killed As NURTW Members Clash In Ondo

Scores of people have been feared dead as members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) are currently disrupting socio-economic activities in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

“The drivers, armed with dangerous weapons, are currently attacking one another and their personal vehicles as traders and commuters scampered for safety,” a resident said.

Many people were also said to have sustained injuries.

EKO HOT BLOG gathered that the clash, which is still ongoing, started around 8 am on Tuesday.

The Ondo State government had last Monday suspended the activities of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria and NURTW.

The government, through the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Rotimi Akeredolu on Special Duties, Dr Doyin Odebowale, said the suspension was to allow both unions to meet and settle their differences to prevent violent clashes between them.
