In a letter dated February 14 by the General Secretary of the union, Alhaji Kabiru Ado Yau, MC Oluomo was accused of refusing to carry out directives given to him by the national body.
It was learnt that MC Oluomo got the query letter in his office on Friday, February 25,and the letter reads: “Our attention has been drawn to the fact that despite the National Secretariat’s directives during a meeting with you and other members of the Lagos State Administrative Council (SAC) in Abuja on February 9, pertaining the appointment of Alhaji Azeez Abiola as chairman, Lagos State NURTW Tricycle Operators, you have refused to comply. Instead, you have resorted to intimidation and assault on the newly appointed tricycle chairman.”
The National body added that MC Oluomo also refused to hand over the former NURTW Secretariat situated at Abule Egba to the tricycle caretaker committee in a bid to prevent them from using the office.
He was also accused by the National body of using thugs to forcefully take over branches of his perceived enemies.

As stated in the letter,”to avoid the wrath of the union, the national headquarters has directed you, M C Oluomo, to within 48 hours hand over the former state Council Secretariat at Abule Egba to the newly appointed Lagos State Tricycle Committee; withdraw all those men you sent to take over the branches of your perceived opponents and submit a written apology to the National Secretariat.
Failure to comply with the foregoing directives will leave the National Secretariat with no option other than to take disciplinary action against you in line with the provisions of the union’s constitution.”
