MC Oluomo not dead, Lagos Task Force insists

MC Oluomo

The Lagos State Task Force has described as false the latest rumour about the death of Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, circulating on social media.

Chairman of the Agency, Olayinka Egbeyemi, confirmed in a statement on Sunday that MC Oluomo is alive and recuperating at the hospital.

Mr Egbeyemi said that the rumour of the NURTW leader’s death was being spread by miscreants and hoodlums who want to foment trouble and cause panic around Oshodi and other major motor parks in Lagos.

He called on the leadership of NURTW to immediately address all their members across the state and call them to order as the state’s police commissioner, Edgal Imohimi, before his removal, directed that any person found causing trouble would be arrested.

“Once again we are using this medium to seriously warn miscreants and hoodlums who might want to foment mayhem to desist or face the full wrath of the law, also urging parents and guardians to closely monitor activities of their wards.

“The Agency would continue the use of patrol vans and power-bikes to patrol round all nooks and cranny of the entire Oshodi area to forestall any possibility of breakdown of law and order,” Egbeyemi said.

He also confirmed that he speaks with MC Oluomo regularly on phone, in addition to hospital visits.

The chairman enjoined Lagosians not to panic but go about their lawful businesses around Oshodi and other parts of the state.
