The letter reads in part:

"After careful deliberations by the state executives on the happenings at the Lagos Island area and the need to instill sanity into the union activities in Lagos Island, you are hereby informed that your branch executives have been dissolved."

The letter dated April 25th, 2006 was addressed and handed over to the three branches of the union on Lagos Island, which consist of Kakawa Heavy Truck and Lagos Island branches.
