Police arrest seven suspects for ‘attacking’ Osun NURTW official
The Vice Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Gbongan Branch, Omoniyi Femi, was allegedly attacked, according to the Osun Police Command, which announced the arrest of seven suspects on Wednesday.

Gbongan is reportedly located in Osun's Aiyedaade Local Government Area.

According to a statement made by SP Yemisi Opalola, the victim told police on Tuesday that some thugs had attacked him with matchsticks in an effort to seize control of his vehicle park.

“On Tuesday, at about 1:45p.m, one Omoniyi Femi of Ajidegbo Gbongan Area, the Vice Chairman of NURTW Gbongan Branch 2, reported at the Gbongan Divisional Police Headquarters, that, at about 11:30am of same date, he was attacked and assaulted by a group of thugs led by One Nurudeen Sule a.k.a Biggy. ”

“He said as a results of the attack, he sustained deep cut on his head, through machetes cut and other dangerous weapons used on him by the suspects, in an attempt to take over his branch NURTW office.

“Upon the receipt of this report, the Police Divisional Officer swiftly led some men together with the Police Response Unit (PRU) Operatives to the crime scene and the hideout of the assailants.

“Seven male suspects, including their ring leader called Nurudeen Sule a.k.a. Biggy were arrested and one short cutlass suspectedly used to perpetrate the act was also recovered from them.

“The victim was later taken to our Lady Catholic Hospital Ipetumodu for medical treatment.”

Opalola, however, said all the arrested suspects had been handed over to the PRU office in Osogbo for discreet investigation.

She said further development on the matter would be communicated later.
