In order to prevent a breakdown of law and order, police operatives in Lagos State have taken over motor parks and garages throughout the state.
The directive was given by Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, during a press conference at the police headquarters in Ikeja on Thursday, according to Anaedoonline.ng.
The instruction comes after Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, the Lagos chapter head of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), was suspended indefinitely.

The instruction for the deployment of operatives to all automobile parks across the state, according to Alabi, was vital to prevent any violence that could develop as a result of MC Oluomo’s suspension.
The commissioner instructed area commanders and DPOs to maintain visibility in their coverage areas, assuring Lagos residents of appropriate life and property protection.
In a similar event, MC Oluomo and all members of the state’s union declared their departure from the national federation.
Akinsanya, speaking after a meeting at the state secretariat in Agege, stated that all attempts to reach an acceptable agreement with the national body had failed.
