The Appeal Court in Abuja has announced Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa as the lawful President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).

Appeal Court Removes MC Olumo, Reinstate Baruwa

It can be recalled that Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, was days ago inaugurated as NURTW president.

The recent decision came after the court reviewed and upheld an earlier ruling by the National Industrial Court.

The initial judgment, delivered on March 11, 2024, recognized Baruwa as the rightful president of the union. However, an appeal was filed by Alhaji Najeem Usman Yasin, Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede, and their supporters. They argued against the Industrial Court’s decision but were unsuccessful in convincing the appellate court.

A three-member panel of justices, Hamma Akawu Barka, Nnamdi Dimgba, and Asmau Ojuolape Akanbi, ruled that the appeal lacked merit. The court declared Baruwa as the elected leader of NURTW and dismissed the challenge brought forward by MC Oluomo’s faction.

In addition to confirming Baruwa’s position, the Appeal Court ordered the appellants, who are supporters of MC Oluomo, to pay N100,000 as damages to the respondents.
