Rhodes‑Vivour, ADC Petitions Police Over Threats from NURTW Chairman “Sego”!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

The African Democratic Congress (ADC), led by former Lagos governorship candidate Gbadebo Rhodes‑Vivour, has formally petitioned the Lagos State Police Command, accusing Mustapha Adekunle “Sego”, Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Lagos chapter, of issuing explicit threats and intimidating messages ahead of the 2027 election cycle.

Allegations & Basis of the Petition

• The petition was filed through Inibehe Effiong Chambers and submitted on October 8, 2025, citing a viral video from September 25, 2025, in which Sego is alleged to have warned that those who fail to vote for the APC would “learn a lesson” and that the events of 2023 should not repeat themselves. [1]
• Rhodes‑Vivour says the filing is intended to create a public record, ensuring that the threats can be formally addressed should they materialize into violence. [1]
• The petition describes the remarks as an unacceptable incitement and demand for retributive politics, rather than issue‑based campaigning. [1]

Response & Context

• The petition notes that after the video circulated, Sego was reportedly summoned by the State Security Service (SSS) for questioning. [1]
• In a recorded response, Sego claimed he was “invited by DSS and granted bail,” denying that his statements were threats, instead framing them as addressing union conduct. [2]
