The Lagos State Police Command on Tuesday
night declared a National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) chieftain
Mustapha Adekunle a.k.a Seigo wanted for attempting to disrupt APC rally
A statement by police spokesman Chike Oti, a
Chief Superintendent (CSP), said Mustapha Seigo, came to the rally with a group
of people and were identified at the entrance as supporters of the party.
Oti said: “However, at the tail end of the
event, Seigo and his group for a reason yet to be determined violently engaged
other supporters of the party. In the ensuing melee, one MC Oluomo, another
NURTW chieftain, was stabbed and was rushed to EKO Hospital where he is
currently recuperating while two other victims of the attack were taken to the
Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) for treatment. The crisis was
quickly contained by policemen at the venue.”
It will be recalled that a few hours before
the rally started, the Commissioner of Police Imohimi Edgal held a meeting with
the leaders of the NURTW and the Road Transport Employers Association (RTEAN)
and other affiliate groups where all the parties agreed to eschew violence
before, during and after the electioneering.
“It was therefore surprising that a prominent
member of NURTW would attempt to violently disrupt a peaceful political rally.
“In view of the
development, the Command wishes to encourage members of the public with useful
information on the whereabouts of Mustapha Adekunle popularly known as Seigo to
report such at the nearest police station,” he said.
Oti said two persons have been arrested in
connection with the incident.
