Published 4:19 am
Members of the Professional E-hailing Drivers and Private Owners Drivers’ Association have accused the personnel of the Lagos State Police Command of arresting some of their officials for organising a protest against ride-hailing firms.
Members of the association, which comprises drivers of Uber, Bolt and other ride-hailing firms, had on Monday commenced a one-week protest to demand a change in the welfare package of the drivers and incorporating the association in decision-making affecting the drivers.
However, when the drivers converged on the National Stadium, Surulere, on Tuesday, some policemen from the Surulere Police Station allegedly arrested some of the drivers and executive of the association.
