The Court of Appeal in Abuja has confirmed Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa as the rightful President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).
This ruling aligns with a previous decision by the National Industrial Court, which validated Baruwa’s leadership.
The appellate court dismissed the appeal brought by a faction led by Alhaji Najeem Usman Yasin and Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede, both loyalists of Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo.
The court concluded that the appeal lacked merit, upholding Baruwa’s presidency and awarding N100,000 in damages to the respondents.
Baruwa criticized MC Oluomo’s recent inauguration as NURTW President, describing it as a breach of judicial orders.
He emphasized that the union operates under a legal framework, which outlines proper electoral processes.
Baruwa urged the Inspector General of Police and the Attorney General of the Federation to enforce the court’s decision to maintain peace and uphold the rule of law within the union.
