Chairman of the Ondo State chapter of
the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Chief Oladutele
Obayoriade, on Sunday said hoodlums vandalised the union’s secretariat
in Akure and stole N118m.
Obayoriade told journalists in Akure
that those arrested in connection with the theft, which took place on
December 30, were not members of the NURTW in the state.
The suspects, who were charged to court
last Thursday, he alleged, had confessed that they were mobilised from
neighbouring states by an executive member of the union in the state to
carry out the act.
Obayoriade known as Die the matter, said the aim was to violently terminate his four-year-tenure which was put in place in 2011 through a democratic arrangement.
He said, “On December 30, 2012 at about
1am, I was informed that about 60 men with guns, cutlasses and axes had
invaded our secretariat in the Ijapo area of Akure.
“They were said to have scared residents
of the estate with their indiscriminate shootings but one of them who
had my number immediately called me in confidence that they were all
brought in from neighbouring states.”

Where on earth did NURTW get 118m from? and whats the mission of the money in their office? Do you know how bulky that money could be even if it is new mints? More investigation is required both parties may be lying.
