Warring factional leaders of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, Messrs Azeez Lawal, popularly known as ‘Kunle Poly’ and Mustapha Sego, whose groups engaged in a violent clash that left four people dead and several others injured in Idumota, Lagos Island, have been arrested by the Police.
Commercial activities were paralyzed in Idumota last week, following the renewed clash over an argument on which group should collect tolls from commercial bus drivers and motorcyclists at Eyin Eyo unit.
Leaders of the warring factions were invited to the office of the Rapid Response Squad, RRS.

The police said Kunle Poly and Sego are principal suspects in the recurring clashes in Idumota and its environs.
The crisis had intermittently crippled commercial activities in the area. The latest clash occurred last Thursday.
“The arrest was effected today at a meeting where the two NURTW members along with some other stakeholders converged,” RRS said.
“Kunle Poly and Sego are currently being transferred to Zone II, Onikan, Lagos.”
