RESUMING OPERATIONS AT OYO BUS TERMINALS

The several automobile parks in Ibadan, the state capital, resumed normal operations on Monday, only 24 hours after the new Executive Council members of the Oyo State Parks Management System were inaugurated.

After the ousting of Mukaila Lamidi, the fugitive leader of the disbanded Parks Management System, also known as Auxillary, transporters moved into the multi-billion naira Bus Terminal at both the Challenge and the Ojoo areas, which had been under lock and key. This was noted by our correspondent who visited some of the parks within the Ibadan metropolis.

After the PMS was disbanded by the state governor, Seyi Makinde, Auxiliary was proclaimed wanted by the Oyo State Police Command for allegedly stockpiling weapons and ammunition.

Auxiliary, whose home the police had also searched, was also charged with robbery, kidnapping, and other crimes.

On Sunday, Makinde announced the new PMS leadership. He added that the nomination was a result of the state government’s reorganization of the system and that the new management team included representatives from all the main factions in the transport union.
