A group, made up of supporters of Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as Mc Oluomo has risen defense of the popular National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). The group maintained that Oluomo didn’t know about the gruesome murder of another top member of the union, Rasaq Bello, popularly called Hamburger.

In a statement, sent to The ELITES, the group stressed that Oluomo was in the United States of America, where he is currently vacationing.

Below is the full text of the statement:

“It has come to the notice of the camp of Musiliu Akinsanya who is popularly known as Mc Oluomo that some people are brandishing his name as the one behind the brutal murder of another prominent member of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Rasaq Bello, popularly called Hamburger.

It should be known that as at the time of the primaries in the Shogunle area of Lagos during the local council primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that led to the death of Hamburger, MC Oluomo was away in the USA where he has been for some months now.
Aside being out of town, several times before now, he has sponsored advertorials both in newspapers and radio on the need to maintain law and order before and during the electioneering period based on what the national leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu ordered.
It is rather painful that the death of someone who had no prior problem with MC Oluomo could be linked to him.
This is an appeal to the general public to discard such damaging rumour. MC OLuomo knows nothing about the death and also abhors violence of any form not to talk of taking a life.”
