The Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Lagos State Council, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, has denied reports that he sent thugs to attack #EndSARS protesters in Alausa, Lagos State on Thursday.
On Thursday, thugs armed with machetes and other dangerous weapons tried to disrupt the #EndSARS protest.
But they were chased away by the #EndSARS protesters.
Shortly after the incident, some Nigerians came online to accuse MC Oluomo of sending the thugs.
This was largely because they came in buses painted in the yellow colour of commercial buses in Lagos State.
However, in an attempt to clear his name, MC Oluomo shared a video on his Instagram page, stating that he knows nothing about the thugs.
He said: “Why will I a good citizen send thugs to attack #EndSARS protesters that all of us are in support of?
“I even posted about EndSARS on my page on the 11th of this month.
“The government is even in support of EndSARS.
“Why will I now go againt what the government is in support of and then send thugs to attack them?
“Please, those who went there, I don’t know them at all.”
