The Heavy Trucks division of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has urged the federal government, led by President Bola Tinubu, along with security agencies, to take immediate action against the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), whom they accuse of causing significant distress to their members operating in the southeastern states.
Papers News reports that the union warned that should the criminal activities of IPOB continue unchecked, they may be compelled to cease their operations in the region.
Truck drivers have reported that IPOB has been responsible for the deaths of numerous members serving the South-East, the destruction of many trucks, and the theft of goods being transported, all without justification.
