Kunle Poly Fingers Mc Oluomo in Idumota Fracas

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Alhaji Adekunle Lawan, popularly known as, Kunle Poly, has accused the National Union Of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, Lagos State Chairman, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as, MC Oluomo, of being the brain behind the renewed violence on Lagos Island.

Kunle Poly, who said he was out of Lagos when the crisis started but had to immediately make a detour back to Lagos after the information about the clash got to him, said a lot of his boys were killed for refusing to join his (Mc Oluomo) group.

This online media platform recalls that two factional hoodlums popularly known as area boys clashed in the area around 12pm on Thursday, forcing several traders at the bustling commercial centre to abruptly shut down their shops.

Videos of the clash went viral on Friday, with one of the clips showing a bloodied youth being carried away in a wheelbarrow.

He said, “A lot of my boys have been killed for refusing to be part of them, today make it four years hire assassins were sent to kill me, unfortunately, my personal assistant was killed in the process.

“I have also done everything humanly possible to make peace with the State Chairman, I have also begged him in the presence of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Hakeem Odumosu.

“I don’t have a problem with anyone at my park, on December 8, 2021, we were with the governor, I have 19 units out of it, the State Chairman collected 12 units leaving seven units for me. Simply because I didn’t support him for his chairmanship ambition then, that I am loyal to former Chairman Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede.”

Meanwhile, Lagos State Police Command said that a combined team of police and other security agents has been deployed to Idumota and its environs on Lagos Island to quell the gang fight that erupted in the neighbourhood on Thursday.

Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, said normalcy had returned to the community.

He said, “The police have quelled the crisis. Sufficient facilities were deployed in the area immediately we received a distress call and normalcy was restored. As we speak, the place is calm. I can’t confirm if any arrest was made for now or the cause of the fight.”

The investigation is ongoing.
