#EndSars: MC Oluomo Opens Up On Sponsoring Thugs To Attack Lagos Protesters

Popular Nigerian politician and the Chairman of the National Union of the Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Lagos State Council Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya simply called MC Oluomo has denied reports and claims that he financed the attack by thugs on #EndSARS protesters in Lagos during a peaceful protest.

Earlier today, Naijaray.com.ng has reported how Armed thug disrupted the peaceful EndSARS protesters in Alausa, Lagos

Addressing the issue via his Instagram page, MC Oluomo reiterated that he could not have sponsored the thugs to brutalize protesters and vandalize properties because he is a great supporter of the call for the reformation of the Nigerian Police force.

“I didn’t sponsor attack on #EndSARS protesters. I Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya (aka MC Oluomo) know nothing about the allegations that trend on social media that I sponsored attacks on #EndSARS protesters at Alausa today 15th October 2020.
I wondered why people will link the event in Alausa with me . “I was surprised when my aides brought it to my attention what people were tweeting on the issue.

I couldn’t have been involved in such act because I support the quest to reform the police force.
How will I do such when my brothers and sisters are among the protesters?, in fact this act is disgusting. No sane member of the union will join people to attack the protesters because it is for the good of everybody.

More so, Today being the anniversary of my first year in office, I deliberately cancelled the idea of celebration due to the situation in the country and to lend my support to the protest. As a good citizen who abhors anything violence, I wonder how people will link me with the violence that took place in Alausa.
I always warn my people not to involve in violence and whoever does, I will personally hand over the person to the security agency. I didn’t send anyone to disrupt or attack the #EndSARS protesters.

Signed
Alhaji Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya “MC OLUOMO “

We all want the police force to be reformed. We all want better welfare for our police officers. We all want our police officers to stand shoulder to shoulder with their counterparts in any part of the world. This will definitely translate to security of lives of our people in the country." Any members of the union should avoid any act capable of tarnishing the image of the NURTW. I stand with the youth and masses of this great Nation. Thanks God bless you.
