Alhaji Lateef Akinsola a.k.a. Tokyo




Violence erupted again in Muslim area of Ibadan, Oyo State capital, on Monday as factional members of the state council of the National Union of Road Transport Workers clashed.

Scores of people were said to have been injured in the clash, the second major one in one month.

Speaking with journalists, the reinstated chairman of the union, Alhaji Lateef Akinsola (a.k.a Tokyo), again alleged that trouble started when policemen led some members of the faction of his rival, Alhaji Lateef Salako (Eleowomo) to dislodge his (Akinsola’s members) in a motor park located in Muslim.

Apart from passers-by who were injured during the clash, the NURTW boss said two members loyal to him were injured in the fracas.

He said that Mr. Adesina Adedayo, who was seriously injured, was still being detained at Ogbere Police Station at press time rather than taken to a hospital for treatment.

In a telephone interview with our correspondent, the state Commissioner of Police, Oyo State, Mr. Baba Bolanta, confirmed the clash but denied police involvement.

“We heard a report of fracas in the area and we sent policemen there. There was a case of vehicles hijacking involving the two factions of the union there. I am not aware that any injured person is detained but I will get across to the DPO now,” he said.

Meanwhile, Akinsola has threatened that his faction will no longer keep quiet while Salako’s faction in collaboration with policemen continue to attack them.

i suppose all that ife modakeke violence was also propagated by muslims

gbenga Daniel must also be a muslim, abi?

meanwhile the best performing governor in the southwest and in nigeria is a muslim

i'm suprised that you are towing the path of bigots like davidyln and osisi

i suppose one can also say christianity is the worst thing that happened to ibos - look at the madness going on in the wholly christian southeast



perhaps if ekiti had had a muslim governor. . .

KnowAll:

[b]There is no where called muslim in Ibadan, whoever wrote that piece is only trying to stir unwarranted religious bigotry into what is basically a fight between 2 motor tout's henchmen over who controls the motor parks, there is no religious undertone here. Whoever wrote that piece should be ashamed of himself. [/b]

There is, i think it is before Odinjo.

[color=#990000][b]There is no where called muslim in Ibadan,

This Adebayo Alao Akala is the major cause of the mayhem from day one.everybody knows the part the police commissioner has taken to aggravate the issue.mind you,if Tokyo should fight back,the NPF cannot be able to withstand his force.
