Barely two weeks after the registration of new transport union in Ogun state, struggle for leadership among the transport union has led to a clash in Itori area of Ewekoro Local Government.
It was learnt that the bloody clash, which occurred on Tuesday, left many leaders of the various transport union injured.
There were heavy gunshots as leaders of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria ( RTEAN), their counterparts in the Ogun State Park Management (OGSPAM) and those of the newly approved Ogun State Operations Management Service (OSOMS) attacked one another, with dangerous weapons.
The transporters were said to have met at Itori Day, an annual festival organised by the Olu of Itori, Oba Fatai Akamo.
