THE Oyo State Police Command may declare the feuding leaders of the banned National Union of Road Transport Workers, Alhaji Lateef  Akinsola, the Chairman of the union and Alhaji Lamidi Mukaila aka Auxiliary wanted.

Though, the State Commissioner of Police,  Alhaji Baba Adisa Bolanta had invited them to the state headquarters of the command, Vanguard gathered that none of the leaders showed up at the station.

Bolanta said the two of them were invited  to know their level of involvement in the mayhem that resulted in the death of scores of people at the Iwo road end of the city.

He noted that they were asked to show  up by 4pm yesterday but they did not show up.

They were said to have sent their lawyers to stand in for them, the move the CP rejected adding that the matter on ground demanded that the two of them should come and not any representative.

Probably due to previous experiences between Akinsola and the CP, the former said he would prefer to surrender to the governor instead of the CP.

Akinsola aka Tokyo had variously accused the CP of taking side in the crisis. He said he was sympathetic to late Alhaji Lateef Salako who was attacked during preparation for the April election.

Auxiliary, being the deputy to Salako is now acting as the leader of the other faction which Tokyo is saying the CP is sympathetic to.

In a letter sent through his lawyer, Micheal Lana, Tokyo said it would be dangerous for him to go to Bolanta because he would be partisan in the discharge of his duty.

The letter June 7, 2011 and addressed to the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Hafiz Ringim; the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 11 and Bolanta himself, Tokyo said he would prefer the case to be transferred from the state command.

Referring to the judgment of the National Industrial Court, Abuja which reinstated him as the chairman of the union, he said, “Violence cannot stop where injustice reigns. Injustice cannot cease where judgments of courts are not enforced but treated with impunity. We therefore request that you take over the investigation of the offences beginning from 2009 till date.”
