Lagos State Government has appealed to the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) to end their violence.

The government appealed to the union to desist from destruction, which gives credence to insinuations that Lagos allows hoodlums and criminals.

On Thursday, opposition gang members attacked each other, leaving many injured including traders and commuters.

One person is feared dead.

Guns, cutlasses, knives, clubs and dangerous weapons were openly used during the fracas that paralyzed business activities.

Parts of the Lagos Island including Idumota, Kosoko, Oluwole, Martins and Balogun witnessed the bloody clashes. The disturbance has spilt to Friday.

In a statement, Gbenga Oyerinde, Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Central Business Districts urged warring factions to embrace peace.

Oyerinde attributed the violence to “infiltration of the area by street gangs and hoodlums from other parts of the state into the island under the guise of membership of NURTW”.

The aide noted that the government “is doing all within its power to restore the peace of the area”.

Oyerinde advised members of the public to be vigilant and security conscious while within the Lagos Island Business District.

“Security operatives have been mandated to arrest and prosecute anybody breaching the peace of the area”, he said.

Oyerinde further told security operatives not to be discouraged in their efforts to protect lives and property.

NURTW factions are known to frequently engage in free-for-all fights over power tussles at different locations and parks.

The Lagos government is accused of failing to arrest and prosecute the rioters.

NURTW irritants and touts are one of Tinubu’s many ‘legacy’ in Lagos.

And that’s because Tinubu, being a tout himself, can’t do away with touts.

Almost every state government in Nigeria has banned the activities of NURTW in Nigeria since 1999 but not in Tinubu’s Lagos.

There’s no state in the Southeast that you’d find NURTW operating because we don’t tolerate nonsense.

The first thing that Seyi Makinde did in Oyo when he became governor was disband those idiots and I remember Tinubu urchins attacking him then.

Now they are constituting nuisance in Lagos and instead of MC Oluomo’s boys to be disbanded, a whole state government, with all it’s paraphernalia, is “begging” social irritants.

And you know why?

Because Tinubu is their godfather.

Give Tinubu Nigeria and he resurrect NURTW in every state in Nigeria and make MC Oluomo the grand patron.

Don’t vote this idiot below, let’s live him to enjoy what he has looted so far and wait for God to call him.
