The Organised Labour has threatened to embark on an
immediate nationwide action if the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress
(NLC), Joe Ajaero, is not released by the end of today (Wednesday).
Recall that Ajaero was arrested in Owerri, the capital of
Imo State, earlier on Wednesday during a protest by workers in Imo State over
an alleged “serial and habitual abuse and violation” of their rights by the
state government.
The NLC president was arrested at the NLC State Council
Secretariat by some heavily armed policemen in Owerri.
In a joint statement by the NLC and the Trade Union Congress
(TUC) shortly after Ajaero’s arrest, the Labour unions accused the Governor of
Imo State, Hope Uzodimma and the Imo State Commissioner of Police of allegedly
abducting the NLC leader.
The Organised Labour said workers cannot be at work while
the NLC President “is in the gulag.”
The Organised Labour said that Uzodimma must be called to
order by President Bola Tinubu “to avert turning the state into – a den of
thugs and blood suckers.”

This is babaric, why are those who lead people so wicked. Do you really want peace when leaders are like this? When leaders start making use of thugs to enforce their will.
