Osun NURTW Alerts Security Agencies Over Planned Park Management, Drags Adeleke to Court

Osun Park Crisis: NURTW drags Adeleke To Court, Alerts Police, DSS, NSCDC Over Possible Breakdown of Law and Order

The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Osun State Council, has alerted security agencies to the possibility of tension in motor parks across the state following its disagreement with the state government over the proposed park management arrangement.

The union, which has taken the dispute to the Osun State High Court, urged security operatives to remain professional and impartial to prevent any breakdown of law and order.

In a letter signed by its legal representative, Idrees Abiodun Mikaheel of M&P Law Green Chambers, the union informed security agencies that it had challenged the constitutionality of the Osun State Integrated Transport, Traffic and Park Management System Law, 2026.

The case, registered as HRE/28/2026, involves the NURTW and seven others against the Governor of Osun State and three others.

The letter was addressed to the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone XI, the Commissioner of Police, Osun State Command, the DSS Director in the state and the NSCDC State Commandant.

The union urged the security agencies to take note of the pending proceedings and prevent any action capable of triggering violence, confrontation or unnecessary tension in motor parks and garages.

It also called for the preservation of the status quo pending the court’s determination of the dispute.

The NURTW maintained that its executives and members were law-abiding citizens exercising their legitimate rights as members of a recognised trade union.

It expressed concern over attempts to portray its leadership as criminal elements on account of their union positions.

The union said its decision to seek judicial intervention was informed by its commitment to peaceful resolution of the disagreement.

It consequently appealed to transport operators, park users and members of the public to remain calm while the court determines the matter.
