The Lagos chapter Chairman of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo, has been suspended indefinitely by the national leadership of the road transport workers union.
MC Oluomo, according to the letter of suspension dated March 9, 2022, and signed by the NURTW General Secretary, Kabiru Yau, had been found guilty of insubordination and inciting members of the union against the national leadership.
It directed MC Oluomo to hand over all union properties in his possession to the state secretary and hand over the leadership to his deputy.

The NURTW leadership had earlier issued MC Oluomo with a query but he denied all the allegations, arguing that they were false and baseless.
However, the NURTW leadership adjudged his response as unsatisfactory, prompting his suspension.
The letter of suspension reads: “This is to convey to you that in line with Article 42 section 5, subsection I, II, III, IV, V, and VIII of the union’s constitution, you have been placed on indefinite suspension from office as State Chairman of Lagos State Council of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) with effect from March 9th, 2022.
“Your suspension is sequel to sustained acts of insubordination and gross misconduct coupled with your clandestine plans to instigate crisis and unleash mayhem on any branch or branches of the union in Lagos state that refuses to obey your order or instructions not to accept directives from the national headquarters of the Union.

“Your orchestrated plan to attack branches that may disobey your orders aforesaid will ultimately endanger public peace and order in Lagos state. It is also very likely to threaten and/or affect the lives and property of the peace-loving people of Lagos state, particularly those doing their legitimate businesses within motor parks, hence the urgent need to take drastic actions against him.
“It is on record that you were earlier issued with queries on 25th of February 2022 and 3rd of March, 2022 respectively in which you were directed to explain the circumstances surrounding your untoward actions and to also show cause why disciplinary actions should not be taken against you for such acts of insubordination. You bluntly neglected/refused to respond to the second query, while your response to the first query was unsatisfactory.
“In view of your suspension, you are hereby directed to hand over the mantle of leadership of the Lagos State Council to the State Deputy Chairman and also surrender all Union properties in your possession to the State Secretary of the Union forthwith”.
MC Oluomo has a large army of followers and there is fear of a likely breakdown of law as a fallout of his suspension.
