The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC)has confirmed that its national office in Abuja was invaded by security operatives, believed to be from the Department of State Services and the Nigeria Police Force on Wednesday night.
According to a statement by NLC spokesperson Benson Upah, late on Wednesday, the operatives allegedly arrested the security guards, forcing them to hand over keys to some offices, ransacked the bookshop, and stole hundreds of books and publications.
The NLC condemned the invasion, stating that it was illegal and a violation of democratic principles as it demanded an international inquiry into the incident and the return of the stolen materials.
The invasion occurred just hours after the NLC’s National Executive Council meeting, where members condemned the high-handed manner in which security agents handled protesters during the #EndBadGoverance protests.
