Flycomnews correspondence gathered that, NURTW members in Lagos Island are not violent people and the leadership at the state council will not condone any form of violence. The essence of the rally was to appeal to residents of Lagos Island to stay away from violence".

“We have our internal ways of resolving crisis. There are rules and regulations we fellow as union members. Anyone found committing crimes, violence, killings will be expelled from the union and handed over to the police for prosecution,” Adekunle  said.

Sego as he fondly called, " he said needs to let the public know that crimes perpetrating in Lagos Island has nothing to do with the union. This is necessary to regain the trust back. I appeal to you not to allow people that are not union members to foment trouble in our garages,” he said
