Brutalized Female Driver in Trending Video Hosted by Lagos NURTW Chairman, Sego
The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Lagos Chairman, Alhaji Mustapha Adekunle Adio, popularly known as Tafa Sego, invited and hosted the assaulted female bus drivers in a viral video on social media, where the lady was harassed by an alleged member of the transport union.
The NURTW Chairman, Alhaji Tafa Sego, on Monday, 14th April 2025, received in his office Miss Yetunde Amole, the female driver who was allegedly brutalized by a tout in the Ajah area of the state.
During the meeting at the union’s office in Oko Oba, Agege, Lagos, Alhaji Sego condemned the incident and took the opportunity to dissociate the union from such unruly behavior.
He clarified that the individual responsible for the assault is not a member of the NURTW, but rather a known area boy unaffiliated with the union.
Miss Amole, who arrived at the union headquarters earlier in the day, was warmly received and ushered into the chairman’s office.
Alhaji Sego suspended his scheduled engagements to honor her visit, urging her to continue performing her duties diligently. He assured her that no member of the union would harass or intimidate her going forward.
Reaffirming the union’s commitment to professionalism, Sego emphasized that NURTW members have been trained to act respectfully and responsibly in their interactions with the public.
He also commended the Lagos State Government for the swift arrest of the suspect, pledging the union’s full support in ensuring that justice is served.
“We will ensure that Yetunde Amole gets justice in this instance. This will serve as a strong warning to others not to harass any driver in the state,” he stated.
Alhaji Sego further called on the public to respect the fundamental human rights of drivers while emphasizing the union’s zero tolerance for any form of harassment against its members.
He concluded by warning union members against engaging in any behavior that could tarnish the reputation of the NURTW.
