Ibadan Sallah Scuffle in Arisekola's House - PDP vs NURTW

There was a bloody post Sallah prayer clash between members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers {NURTW} and some members of the Peoples’ Democratic Party {PDP} in Ibadan yesterday.

It was gathered that the fracas took the intervention of the Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, Alhaji AbdulAzeez Arisekola in whose private residence the fracas ensued.

Sources hinted that pandemonium broke out when the PDP stalwarts in company of the former Senate Leader, Teslim Folarin and Azeem Gbolarunmi stormed the Islamic chief’s residence after the Sallah prayers at the Agodi Eid praying ground singing the praises of their party while the state governor, Abiola Ajimobi was still in his office.

It was learnt that one of the promoters of the pro-PDP song who sat behind the chairman of the NURTW, Taofeek Ayorinde Fele was told to stop the song as it was politically offensive, but the advice was spurned.

Fele who became infuriated by the action was reported to have hit the PDP stalwart on the chest, prompting his NURTW members who were at the residence to pounce on the PDP stalwarts beating and clubbing them out of the place.

Arisekola who was not happy with the trend reportedly mounted one of the tables in his sitting room to call the warring mob to order and directed them to leave his house. Source
