Video Shows MC Oluomo as He Resumes Office as NURTW National President: "Who Be Your Oga?"

• MC Oluomo’s resumption as NURTW President with police escorts sparked public backlash, given the IGP's recent VIP police withdrawal directive
• Nigerians questioned why MC Oluomo retained police protection despite the new policy, pointing to inconsistency
• On social media, users expressed frustration over the selective use of police resources, calling for true reform in the security sector to prioritize public safety over VIP protection

A video of Musiliu Akinsanya, widely known as MC Oluomo, resuming office as the new National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has sparked reactions.

Recall that President Bola Tinubu had ordered that police personnel should be withdrawn from the security files of the VIPs.

Imaan Suleiman-Ibrahim, the minister of state for police affairs, stated that the president's directive would be prosecuted by the police high command while developing a community policing strategy, among others.

However, the sight of MC Oluomo accompanied by heavily armed police officers recently raised eyebrows and sparked a wave of criticism.

"When the IG of @PoliceNG promised to properly utilise police officers by withdrawing them from so called VIP's. He meant it, just that it does not include the likes of MC Oluomo."

@abubaba1 said:

"But they haven’t been withdrawn anywhere yet…seen people with no influence have way more armed policemen than this here in Abuja."

@SirOdigie said:

The abuse of security agencies in Nigeria has gone too far! 🚨 While the IG promised to pull officers from VIP mobi police, we still see certain 'elites' enjoying heavy protection at the expense of public safety.
