Don’t drag us into your dispute with FG, NURTW tells NLC
Don’t drag us into your dispute with FG, NURTW tells NLC
The leadership of the National Union of Road Transport Workers( NURTW) has warned the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) not to bring them into its tussle with the Federal Government over fuel subsidy issue.
The NURTW said its internal crisis should not be used as bait to hold government to ransom.
It will be recalled that the NLC had in a press statement credited to the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, threatened that the labour movement would not attend any meeting called or involving Minister of Labour, Simon Bako Lalong, premising its stand on the ground that the minister was plotting to thwart the agreement reached with the Federal Government concerning the resolution of the crisis rocking the NURTW.
Ajero accused the minister of taking sides with a faction of the NURTW.
But reacting to the NLC statement, the Acting General Secretary of the union, Comrade Kayode Agbeyangi, berated the NLC leadership, accusing it of crying more than bereaved.
“We would have ignored the NLC president, but there is a need to put the record straight.
“For record purposes, there is no more factions in the NURTW. We are intact and indivisible and this was demonstrated with various resolutions of our CWC and NEC meetings and with successful hosting of our 10th quadrennial delegate conference on 25th October, 2023.
“It has become the stock in trade of the NLC to blackmail everybody trying to find amicable solution to the union problems. They began with President, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, who they accused of providing security cover for the union and now it is the turn of Hon. Minister of Labour and Employment to be blackmailed.
“To Ajaero, it must be Baruwa by all means and nothing more.”
He explained that the minister, in his efforts at resolving the Baruwa-induced crisis, invited all the parties and each party presented their position paper to the ministry, but after the first meeting, Baruwa refused to attend subsequent meetings.
He added that the ministry felt a single individual could not hold the union to ransom, hence he gave the directive that the process of getting new leaders for the union should commence.
Agbeyangi warned the NLC leadership not to drag the NURTW into its problem with the Federal Government.
“Our union wants the NLC to handle its problems with the Federal Government without necessarily dragging our union into it.
He said, “NURTW is a registered body with its own constitution and we are conducting our affairs in conformity with the union constitution.
“We are therefore using this medium to appeal to the NLC to desist from using NURTW issues as a bait in its dispute with the Federal Government.”

Fake doctor arrested in Lagos after performing surgery, practising for three years
Fake doctor arrested in Lagos after performing surgery, practising for three years
Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested a fake medical doctor practising in the Ikorodu area of the state, with a forged certificate from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State.
According to a video by the TVC posted on Tuesday, the police said they discovered about 200 patient cards with the fake medical practitioner, Tayo Shakirudeeen, an indigene of Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Shakirudeen said he had treated malaria, typhoid, infections and performed operations on children suffering from appendix, after he learnt it where he worked as a Nursing Assistant at The Jones Hospital, Ojokoro along Ikorodu Road.
Asked how many years he had been treating patients with a fake certificate, he said three years claiming that it was his first time performing a proper surgery.
He also said it was a patient he treated that came with the policemen to arrest him, as he regretted his actions.
“I performed vital signs and abdominal scans. Then after confirmation, you do PCV (packed cell volume) and then you prepare the patient for the surgery. You clean the stomach with antiseptic Dettol with water. So after that, you give some anesthesia injection before starting the surgery,” Shakirudden said.
He used a surgical blade “to dissect the stomach, it’s appendix after opening the stomach then you cut the appendix after cutting the stomach then you suction the appendix then you suction the flesh fat and the skin then you pack it with gauze and apply plaster.”

It was gathered that he only holds SSCE from Majidun Grammar School, as he said he was arrested, “after performing the surgery, the patient has been discharged home. So after like three months, the patient came with the police to arrest me.”
He said there were no complications after treating the patient so he did not know the reason why the patent came back with the police.
“I charged one hundred fifty thousand, and I have six workers. My hospital is located in Ikorodu. It’s a new site but somewhere close to Elepe Estate. I regret every bit of my action so I would never advise anyone or if there’s anyone that is still hiding somewhere and doing such a thing they should desist from it,” he added.
Shakirudeen’s hospital is Skyline Medical Centre and noted that he is a married man with three children
Speaking about the certificate the police found with him, he said, “It’s a forged certificate from Obafemi Awolowo MBBS, Medicine, and Surgery. Nobody taught me, but I used to help my boss when he was performing the surgery.”
“To dissect the stomach, it’s appendix after opening the stomach then you cut the appendix after cutting the stomach then you suction the appendix, then you suction the flesh fat and the skin then you pack it with gauze and apply plaster,” he added.

Gunmen kidnap 13 persons in Abuja, demand N900m ransom
Suspected gunmen raided Piko, a secluded town in Abuja’s Bwari area council, and kidnapped 13 people.
It was reported that the incident, which began at midnight on Sunday in the village, continued more than an hour without being challenged by either the vigilante group or other security forces.
According to a close community source, Chief John Jatau, the village’s Maidakin, has verified that 10 residents, including four nomadic Fulani herders, were kidnapped from his domain.
He noted that out of the four Fulani people, one escaped from the kidnappers’ custody.
While he said that the kidnappers had demanded a ransom of N900 million, he also gave the names of the kidnapped victims from his community.
According to him, the kidnap victims from the community that are still with their abductors are Nuhu Anyiwoyi, Emmanuel Nuhu, Danjuma Ali, Parisa Numa, Ezekiel Jatau, Shekwosa Ezekiel, Roseline Samuel, Salome Jacob, Abyelo Ezra, and Ezra Male.

The source said, “The kidnapping incident occurred last night Sunday 05/05/2024, at about 11 pm. The kidnappers raided the village for about one hour without any response, or reaction from the community or outsiders, the major challenge the community faced last night in terms of communication to others was as a result of no telecommunication network in the village, so they picked people’s house to house, from the community they picked about 13 people, and later release three.
“The Madakin Piko informed me that they (gunmen) have called and they said they need the ramson of N900,000,000 (nine hundred million naira). They picked about four Fulani people and one of them is released.”
All possible efforts to reach the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, proved abortive as she neither replied to messages nor picked up calls placed to her for clarification on the incident.
