A member of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Offa chapter in Kwara, has confirmed dead on Sunday in a fracas involving the union and its counterpart, RTEAN.
Trouble started between the members of the two associations following disagreement on the mode of transporting some students of School of Health Technology who had just vacated in the town.
The heat got turned up and it became a free-for -all affair as members failed to come to common grounds on the mode of loading passengers in turns to their various destinations.
The brawl was said to have began on Saturday and spilled over to Sunday morning resulting in the death of the driver, simply called Suraju, and destruction of the RTEAN office and three vehicles.
Eleven people are said to be chilling in Police net after the entire destruction and violence.
