The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has explained why the police and other security agencies should not enforce a judgment obtained by a former president of the union, Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa.
NURTW?s National Officer, Uwem James, at a press briefing in Abuja, explained that the judgment obtained by Baruwa was targeted at the wrong parties and in defiance of various court orders.
He further stated that the union has several pending court cases challenging Baruwa?s eligibility to hold office and the legitimacy of the elections conducted by him.
According to him, Baruwa had conducted elections for the union leadership despite a court order to maintain the status quo.
He said: ?The National Vice President of the union, Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede (2019-2023) and five others from the south-west had on 12th April 2023 filed an action in suit No. NICN/LA/111/2023 at the Lagos division of the National Industrial Court challenging the eligibility of Baruwa to hold elections based on the ground that the Ogun state government (Baruwa home state) had barred the union from operating.
