The Osun State Police Command yesterday disclosed that it had arrested seven people for alleged forceful takeover of a motor park and assault on a transport union leader.
The spokesperson of the command, Yemisi Opalola, in a statement made available to Daily Sun in Osogbo, explained that a group of thugs, led by one Nurudeen Sule (aka Biggy), attacked one Omoniyi Femi of Ajidegbo Gbongan in Ayedaade Local Government and inflicted injury on him.
The victim, who was said to be the Vice Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Gbongan, allegedly sustained a deep cut on his head through a machete cut and other dangerous weapons inflicted on him by the suspects. She explained that the suspects attempted to take over the NURTW office from the victim, hence, the attack.
Opalola disclosed that ‘Biggy’ and six other suspects were arrested with one short cutlass which they used to perpetrate the crime.
She said the investigation has commenced on the matter while the victim has been taken to the hospital for treatment.
