A leadership dispute within the Osun State chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) escalates as a faction loyal to Kazeem Oyewale takes control of the union’s state office/secretariat in Osogbo. Reports say Oyewale, who is also known as “Asiri Eniba,” leads the group that moves into the NURTW premises amid an ongoing crisis over who should head the union in the state.
Both outlets describe the takeover as part of escalating tensions and clashes tied to the internal leadership struggle. Vanguard reports that the faction acts despite an order suspending its activities, suggesting that the dispute is being pursued even as authorities or the union issue directions affecting operations.
The accounts point to a breakdown in the union’s state leadership arrangement, with competing factions and confrontation surrounding control of the secretariat. The reports do not provide further outcomes of the takeover or details on any investigations or arrests, but they characterize the development as a new phase in the deepening Osun NURTW crisis.
