The crisis rocking the Ondo State chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) deepened at the weekend. Its Deputy Chairman, Apostle Omobomi Ajisafe, was beaten by hoodlums allegedly sent by the Chairman, Chief Oladutele Obayoriade
The national executive of the union had invited the state executive to Abuja last Thursday over allegation of ticket racketeering.
Ajisafe, who went to resume work on Friday after the Abuja meeting at the state secretariat at Omolere, Akure, the state capital, was molested.
Ajisafe was invited to a liquor joint bar another unionist, who then allegedly ordered his “boys” to beat him (Ajisafe) up. The ‘boys’ were said to have injured Ajisafe and his driver.
Ajisafe was hospitalised at the Specialist Hospital, Akure.
Narrating his ordeal, Ajisafe urged the police to investigate the matter.
He said: “After returning from Abuja, I went to our secretariat on Friday, but I was shocked by the attitude of some junior officers who were abusing me. It had never happened before. Their attitude towards me was abnormal; so, I began to suspect a foul-play and decided to leave the secretariat. As I made to leave, I received a phone call from the chairman, asking me to come to a drinking joint beside the office.
“To my surprise, I saw many of our members there. They were armed but I could not turn back at that point. Before I knew what was happening, I was given the beating of my life in the presence of the chairman. At some point, he ordered them to stop beating me and asked my driver who was equally beaten to leave the place. I was immediately rushed to the hospital where I was treated for my wounds.”
Ajisafe appealed to the police to also guarantee his safety.
When contacted on phone, Obayoriade said he was “not ready to react to such an issue.”
He said: “I am at a meeting; I am not ready to react to such a baseless issue”.
The spokesman of the state Police Command, Wole Ogodo, said he had not been briefed on the matter.
Such an incident was not new in the state. A former executive member of the state branch of the union, Mr. Ariyo Adetula, was allegedly attacked on January 30 on Ondo-Akure Road by some unknown people.
The attackers who were allegedly in a convoy of six cars were said to have pursued him from Ondo town to Owena Junction.
