The ongoing battle over the leadership of the NURTW dates back to August 2023, when the National Secretariat of the Union was forcibly seized by thugs.

In a statement released on Monday, November 18, Falana emphasized that the actions of the thugs were illegal and unconstitutional, Channels Television reported.
The senior lawyer, therefore, called on top government officials, including the Attorney General of the Federation, Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, and the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to ensure full compliance with the rulings of both the National Industrial Court and the Court of Appeal, which have confirmed Baruwa’s position.
Falana said:
“I call on the Federal Government to ensure that Comrade Baruwa is immediately restored to his office as President of the NURTW,.
“The judgments of the courts are clear, and it is imperative that they are respected without delay.”
