The fracas, which erupted at Epe Motor Park, involved factional leaders identified as Aweda and Efele
A renewed clash between rival leaders of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), in the Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State, has left three people dead.
The fracas at the Epe Motor Park yesterday, which came barely five days after three people lost their lives in an earlier clash, was said to involve factional leaders identified as Aweda and Efele, who are in a battle for supremacy.
According to a report, the violence was a reprisal attack carried out by one of the factions, in a bid to avenge the death of one of its supporters allegedly killed in an earlier rivalry clash.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Muytiwa Adejobi, who confirmed the incident, said the Commissioner of Police, Nicholas Nkemdeme, had ordered all Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) and Area Commanders in the state, to deploy security agents to parks and garages.
Adejobi, who said investigations are ongoing, confirmed the death of two non-NURTW members and one member of the NURTW (Gbenga Odubona).
