The Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal has removed Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, from his position as the National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).

The court also affirmed Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa as the authentic President of NURTW.

The court also affirmed the judgment of the Industrial Court delivered on the 11th of March 2024 in respect of Suit No. NICN/ABJ/263/2023.

The court held that the appeal filed by Najeem Usman Yasin, Tajudeen Agbede and others challenging the decision of the Industrial Court that recognised Baruwa as President lacked merits and therefore dismissed it.

In a Certified True Copy (CTC) of the judgement with Appeal No. CA/ABJ//CV/293/2024 delivered on Friday, by a three-member panel; Justice Hamma Akawu Barka, Nnamdi Okwy Dimgba and Asmau Ojuolape Akanbi said Baruwa is the legally elected President of NURTW.
