Transporters Down Tools In Osun State

Commercial vehicles both Intra and Inster-state in Osogbo, Osun State have suspended activities across  the state.

This follows the the statement by Secretary of the OSTMS, Alhaji Mukaila Popoola directing motor parks across the State to suspend activities in solidarity with the shooting of the Chairman, Osun State Transport Management System, OSTMS, Mr.Nurudeen Ishola, popularly called Alowonle, while in Police Custody.

A visit round Osogbo, the state capitol and some areas in Olorunda and Egbedore local government areas of the state showed students and workers stranded at various bus stops.

Some residents in an interview said they were not aware of the suspension of activities by commercial transporters.

One of them, Mrs. Bola Adeigbe said expressed her displeasure by the officers of OSTMS who asked one of the mini bus driver known as Korope to drop their passengers and had to trek the remaining distance to her children school.

They called on the state government to intervene in the situation as some students and workers who could not afford the charges by Okada riders have to return back home.
