RRS arrests Kunle Poly, Sego over Lagos NURWT clashes

Two principal actors in the Friday’s clash between factions of the National Union of Transport Workers (NURTW) over the control of motor parks in Lagos Island have been arrested.

The Lagos Rapid Response Squad (RRS), led by its Commander, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi on Monday evening arrested Kunle Poly and Sego.

The two principal suspects, according to RRS, have been involved in the constant clashes in Idumota and its environs.

These persistent clashes have crippled commercial activities in the area.

The videos of the clash went viral on Friday showing the hoodlums using dangerous weapons against themselves.

“The arrest was effected today at a meeting where the two NURTW members along with some other stakeholders converged.

“The latest clash which occurred last week Thursday reportedly led to the death of a victim while commercial activities were paralyzed in the area for some time until a joint team of police officers were deployed immediately to the area to restore peace.

“Kunle Poly and Sego are presently being transferred to Zone II, Onikan, Lagos,” RRS stated.
