NURTW boss MC Oluomo denies alleged attack of #EndSARS protesters

Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Lagos State Council, Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo, has described as blackmail the allegations that he sponsored attacks on #EndSARS protesters at Alausa.

He told newsmen he had on October 11 issued a statement in support of the protest. He wondered why people would link the event in Alausa to him.
“I was surprised when my aides brought it to my attention what people were tweeting on the issue. I couldn’t have been involved in such act because I support the quest to reform the police force. How will I do such when my brothers and sisters are among the protesters?,” he said.

According to him, no sane member of the union will join people to attack the protesters because it is for the good of everybody. He said: “Today being the anniversary of my first year in office, I deliberately cancelled the idea of celebration due to the situation in the country and to lend my support to the protest.

As a good citizen who abhors anything violence, I wonder how people will link me with the violence that took place in Alausa. I always warn my people not to involve in violence and whoever does, I will personally hand over the person to the security agency. I didn’t send anyone to disrupt or attack the #EndSARS protesters.”
