The FCT Police Command on Thursday confirmed that its operatives have arrested the national president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, Tajudeen Baruwa and over 20 other members over conduct that bothers on public disturbance and breach of peace.
It was gathered that Tajudeen Baruwa, three national officers of NURTW and others who are being detained by the police in Abuja were invited on Tuesday and Wednesday by the FCT Command for interrogation and subsequently moved to the former Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Guzape, which is presently occupied by the Intelligence Response Team.
Following a fracas that broke out between factions of the union at the Garki 2 area of its office on Tuesday, the FCT Commissioner of Police, Haruna Garba, confirmed the arrest of 23 male suspects, and recovery of weapons including three rifles.
One person was reportedly killed during the violent clash prompting the police to arrest several members of the union.
