The Obidient Movement on Friday called on President Bola Tinubu, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Department of State Services (DSS), and other security agencies to arrest and prosecute the Lagos State Chairman of the Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Adekunle Mustapha, also known as Sego.
The movement demanded Sego’s arrest for allegedly threatening to kill anyone who votes against the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State during the 2027 elections.
In a statement signed by the Movement’s National Coordinator, Tanko Yunusa, the group said:“The attention of the Obidient Movement has been drawn to comments, well captured on video, by the Lagos State Chairman of the Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers Adekunle Mustapha aka Sego.
“The Obidient Movement recalls with grief and sadness, the violence unleashed by this same NURTW members and other thugs, during the 2023 elections, on Nigerian voters in Lagos, particularly members of the Obidient Movement and supporters of Mr Peter Obi and the Labour Party, resulting in the recorded killing and maiming of so many.
“Over the years, actions of murder, thuggery, political violence, extortion and other criminal acts have continued to be associated and even accepted as part of the operation of the NURTW in Lagos.
