The police have arrested the National President of National Union of Road Transport Workers, Tajudeen Baruwa, and three other officers of the union.

This followed a raid on the national secretariat located at Garki 2 Abuja on Friday evening.

Armed policemen and operatives of the Department of State Services invaded the secretariat and asked all the occupants to vacate the building which was thereafter sealed.

The Deputy President of the union, Mr Isa Ore, confirmed the development while addressing journalists on Saturday.

Isa, who expressed shock over the development, said they were not given any reason for the action.

He said the union was preparing for the inauguration and swearing-in of the newly elected members of the National Administrative Council when the police arrived and ordered the staff to vacate and seal off the premises.
