Officers of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) have taken Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa, the national president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), into custody.

Baruwa and three other union officials were arrested at the NURTW national secretariat on Friday evening at about 5 p.m. when armed policemen invaded the premises and asked all the occupants to vacate the building, Leadership reports.

The development came barely two days after the NURTW president raised the alarm over an alleged plot by some persons and groups to stage a protest at the national secretariat of the union located in Garki 2, Abuja.

The deputy president of the union, Isa Ore, who confirmed the development, said no reason was given for the action by the Police.

Arrested alongside the NURTW President were the general secretary, Anthony Asogwa Chukudi; the national trustee, Olayi Odion, and the principal assistant secretary, Abdulrasak Yemi.

According to Ore, the arrested union members were being detained at the Wuse Zone 3 Police Division.
