The clash is an escalation of the struggle between supporters of NURTW National President Tajudeen Baruwa and supporters of Badru Agbede.
Baruwa has been seeking the intervention of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to resolve the situation and restore his members to the national headquarters which is currently taken over by the police.
Police authorities are yet to comment on the matter as of the time of this report.
