The Lagos State Government has directed the Commander of Rapid Response Squad (RRS), CSP Yinka Egbeyemi, to deploy patrol teams to Agege and Abule Egba areas of the state to forestall the plan to attack the state headquarters of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Agege.
The state government ordered the RRS Commander to comb Agege and Abule Egba areas of the state in search of trouble makers.
According to a statement shared on Facebook by RRS on Thursday, the Lagos State Government noted that it has gotten intelligence that some hoodlums are bent on fomenting trouble by attacking the NURTW office in Agege.
The state government, however, warned that it would deal decisively with trouble makers bent on using NUTRW as an excuse to cause chaos in the state.
The statement read: “Lagos State Government has gotten intelligence that some hoodlums are bent on fomenting trouble by attacking the state headquarters of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Agege and causing mayhem around Agege and Abule Egba.
