In this interview with Deji Lambo, the
Lagos State Chairman, Tricycle Owners
and Operators Association of Nigeria,
Azeez Abiola, aka Istijabah, gives an
account of how he was allegedly attacked
by members of the National Union of
Road Transport Workers led by the state
Chairman, Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC
Oluomo
Kindly give us an insight into your
background.<br>

I am Alhaji Azeez Abiola, aka Istijabah. I
went to primary and secondary schools.
After my secondary studies, I learnt
mechanic work at Shasha in Akowonjo.
After I finished my training, I ventured int
transport business, starting as a
conductor.<hr>
Back then, we used to convey passengers
from Shasha to Oshodi; from Oshodi to
Mushin; from Mushin to Ijora; and
sometimes when we got to Ijora and there
were passengers, we would convey them
to Idumota. Gradually, I became a driver,
and started driving a molue bus with
registration number AG 452 MUS owned
by Alhaji Adanitan, who is still alive.<br>
After driving for 10 years, I collected a
molue bus with registration number AP 74
MUS, on hire purchase from Alhaji
Adanitan. I completed the payment after
about one and a half years. He felt
encouraged by my tenacity and gave me
another bus. With the two buses, I was
able to save money to buy two other
buses by myself.

After ‘hustling’ for about 15 years, I went
back to my mechanic work. Because
someone helped me to get to where I was
I decided to also raise people by buying
and giving them buses on hire purchase.
So far, I have given about 2,000 people
vehicles on hire purchase and they are
now owners.

At what point did you start transport unio
activities?
Initially, I never had interest in transport
union activities; I disliked their activities
because of the atrocities they commit.
During the era of Olohunwa, he tried to
convince me to join but I declined. I also
declined when Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede
became the state Chairman, NURTW. Late
on, I accepted (to join). And the major
reason why I joined was because almost
all the buses conveying passengers from
Oshodi to Sango, belonged to me. I was
losing a lot because of the money union
members were collecting on those buses
daily. So, when I joined the union, Agbede
made me a branch Chairman at Kola and
reduced the levy union members usually
collect from drivers and they were happy.
I realised that many people interested in
the tricycle business had no one to give
them tricycle on hire purchase, so, I
started giving them and as a result of
that, all the atrocities in Agbado area of
the state stopped.
When Alhaji Agbede heard about the
impact I was making in the tricycle sector
particularly the fact that I had empowered
over 3,000 people with tricycles on hire
purchase, he said at my level, I needed to
monitor the tricycle sector. Since then, I
have been in the tricycle sector. At first, I
was the Vice Chairman of the Lagos State
Chapter, Tricycle Owners and Operators
Association of Nigeria. <div class="stream-item stream-item-below-post-content"><span class="ad-slot-label-container"><span class="ad-slot-label">ADVERTISEMENT</span></span> <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-2676590700924448"

Was there any disagreement between
TOOAN and NURTW before now?
Before Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya became
the state Chairman, National Union of
Road Transport Workers, TOOAN and
NURTW operated in harmony. But
immediately he became the chairman, he
decided to dissolve TOOAN. He connived
with Wasiu Ayinde who has no business
with the union.
He (Akinsanya) dissolved TOOAN and
divided it into five zones and brought one
man, Gaji, who is the manager to Wasiu
Ayinde, and made him the zonal chairman
Gaji was never a member of our union. H
also brought Kamali Pappy from Oshodi
and also made him a zonal chairman.
When he saw that my refused to keep
silent, he made me a zonal chairman and
chased all the state executives of TOOAN
away. I was the only one left, so member
of the TOOAN BOT and myself complaine
to the national body in Abuja. That was
the genesis of the problem with TOOAN
and NURTW in the state. <div class="stream-item stream-item-below-post-content"><span class="ad-slot-label-container"><span class="ad-slot-label">ADVERTISEMENT</span></span> <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-2676590700924448"

After complaining to the NURTW national
body, what happened and how were you
appointed as the state Chairman, TOOAN?
After a series of compliants, our National
President, NURTW, Tajudeen Baruwa,
invited us for a meeting in Abuja.
Baruwa’s national executives were there,
all the Lagos State executives of NURTW
were there, including the state chairman,
Musiliu Akinsanya, members of TOOAN
board of trustees were also there, among
others.
The media were also invited to cover the
meeting. At the meeting, BOT members of
TOOAN, including the chairman, said
since Akinsanya became the NURTW
chairman in Lagos State, he hijacked
TOOAN activities and that TOOAN, which
is affiliated to NURTW, has its own body
separately.
Akinsanya was told at the meeting that it
was unconstitutional to hijack our
activities. At the meeting, the BOT
members were asked who they wanted to
head TOOAN in Lagos State and they
mentioned my name.
On that same January 9, 2022, I was
appointed the Lagos State Chairman,
TOOAN, and the National Coordinator,
Tricycle Sectors in Nigeria. The National
President, NURTW also made the
announcement and told me and other
appointees to wait to collect our letters of
appointment.
He also said the appointment letter shoul
be sent to the Inspector-General of Police
Assistant Inspector-General of Police;
Department of Security Services in Abuja
and Lagos, as well as all the security
agents across the country.
What were the disturbing developments
that occurred after your appointment?
After I was appointed in Abuja, I booked 
<br><br>
flight to Lagos. As I got to the airport in
Ikeja, I received a text message from
Akinsanya, notifying me of an emergency
meeting the following day. On January 10,
I called the state chairman, thanked him
for his support.
He said the meeting was very important
and I told him I would be there. I got to
the venue around 11am, got down from
my vehicle and went straight to sign
attendance. I was signing when somebod
suddenly slapped me from behind. As I
turned back, I saw that it was one of
Akinsanya’s boys, called Ajiroba. I was

questioning his audacity when about 20
of Akinsanya’s boys descended on me
and two of my excos, Kazeem Akinbode
and Saheed. I had the grace to rush to my
car and as I entered, I told my driver to
lock the doors. But my boys were unlucky
as they pinned them down and beat them
mercilessly. They have been hospitalised
and responding to treatment.

Akinsanya’s boys started attacking my
vehicle but could not gain entry; it was
Allah that protected me. I stayed in the
car for over one hour and 30 minutes and
was just praying and reciting Quranic
verses. Akinsanya, who told his boys to
lock the gate to prevent my driver from
driving out, later came down, and told me
to open the door but I declined. I told him
his plan was to take my life. He told me I
want to waste my life and that my
appointment would not stand.
I told him my appointment did not affect
his position but he said I should not
worry, that he had called the police to
arrest me. He said I was being deceived
as he is an Asiwaju’s boy and that no one
but him could put anyone in any position.
I told him the same national president tha
appointed me put him in that position.
What happened when operatives of the
Rapid Respond Squad came to the venue
of the meeting?<br><hr>
Initially, five policemen came and told me
to get down but I refused because they
were few. They later called for
reinforcement and about 30 policemen
came. At that point Akinsanya started
shouting that there was a gun inside my
vehicle. I allowed them to search my
vehicle and they found no gun. He even
joined the policemen in the search but I
monitored closely. So, we later went to th
RRS office. 
<div class="stream-item stream-item-below-post-content"><span class="ad-slot-label-container"><span class="ad-slot-label">ADVERTISEMENT</span></span>
<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

How come the RRS posted your
photograph with a gun?
What happened was that the case was
transferred to the state Commissioner of
Police. But before I left RRS office, one of
the officers said they wanted to take my
picture. I asked why but was told it was a
normal thing. I obliged and the officer tol
me to stay at the front of a car and took
my picture without a gun. <div class="stream-item stream-item-below-post-content"><span class="ad-slot-label-container"><span class="ad-slot-label">ADVERTISEMENT</span></span>

So, I left for the CP’s office but he was
not around. I later wrote another
statement at the police headquarters and
was released me on bail. After being
released, I immediately switched on my
phone and started receiving calls that I
was seen with a gun. I checked it on
Facebook and saw my picture with a gun.
I felt very bad. I contacted the RRS but I
was told that their media team was
responsible for the post and that they
have warned him. I said the whole world
had seen the lies they put out. I felt bad
and couldn’t sleep. The state chairman, al
the state NURTW executives and I met
with the CP the following day.
<div class="stream-item stream-item-below-post-content"><span class="ad-slot-label-container"><span class="ad-slot-label">ADVERTISEMENT</span></span>
<script type="text/javascript">
	atOptions = {
		'key' : '733e7f46d2d72d794920b27f5f46db94',
		'format' : 'iframe',

		'params' : {}
	};
	document.write('<scr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript" src="http' + (location.protocol === 'https:' ? 's' : '') + '://fatalityplatinumthing.com/733e7f46d2d72d794920b27f5f46db94/invoke.js"></scr' + 'ipt>');
</script>
</div>

The CP told Akinsanya that he was the
cause of the problem. He said he was the
one that invited me and asked how come
was attacked. He said the only solution
was for him to apologise to me otherwise
if the police commence investigation, it
would turn into another thing.
In the presence of the CP, the NURTW
state chairman apologised and agreed
that all the tricycles in Lagos State would
be under my care. But I told him I was no
the authority and that everything would be
reported to the national body in Abuja
where I was appointed.
Did you complain to the CP about the
online post indicating you were arrested
with a gun?

<div class="stream-item stream-item-below-post-content"><span class="ad-slot-label-container"><span class="ad-slot-label">ADVERTISEMENT</span></span>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</div>

I told the CP that the police posting my
picture with a gun online was the most
serious issue and that I want to know the
policemen who did it. The CP was also
surprised when I showed him the
Facebook post and he became furious,
called the RRS commander and asked for
who did it, especially when no gun was
recovered from me.
The commander said it was the media
team that did it and that he was not
aware. I also talked to the commander an
he apologised. But I will take all
necessary steps on the issue because my
image is very important to me.
