He maintained that he was neither a murderer nor a criminal, rejecting allegations reportedly made by factions within the transport union.

The accusations came after Ile-Ife NURTW executives and other groups allegedly pointed fingers at Alowonle and another man identified as Olayemi Ojo, popularly known as Sibi.

But Alowonle's denial has now put his account of events directly against those allegations.
