The National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, Tajudeen Baruwa and over 20 other members have been detained by the police in Abuja.
The Police Public Relations Officer, FCT Command, SP Josephine Adeh who confirmed the development, stated that they were detained over conduct that bothers on public disturbance and breach of peace.
The PPRO added that they will be charged to court for criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide and conduct likely to cause breach of public peace among others
It was gathered that Tajudeen Baruwa, three national officers of NURTW and others were invited on Tuesday and Wednesday by the FCT Command for interrogation and subsequently moved to the former Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Guzape, which is presently occupied by the Intelligence Response Team.
Recall that on Tuesday following a fracas that broke out between factions of the union at the Garki 2 area of its office, the FCT Commissioner of Police, Haruna Garba, confirmed the arrest of 23 male suspects, and recovery of weapons including three rifles.
One person was reportedly killed during the violent clash, prompting the police to arrest several members of the union.
