NLC summons emergency NEC meeting over invasion

The leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, have summoned an emergency National Executive Council, NEC, meeting for Saturday amid Wednesday’s night invasion of its headquarters

This is as the Labour Writers Association of Nigeria, LAWAN, joined the growing list of concerned organisations and individuals condemning the invasion.

DAILY POST recalls that heavily armed policemen and others in mufti had late Wednesday night invaded the NLC Headquarters, Abuja, commonly known as Labour House.

The fearful security operatives were said to have stormed the Labour House a few minutes before 9 pm and ransacked both the Second and 10th floors.

According to NLC, “They broke into the second floor and ransacked offices including a bookshop and carted away several materials including books claiming that the materials were used to incite and organise the recent protest.”

The NEC meeting, said to be held virtually, is scheduled for 4 pm to enable Labour leaders to determine the appropriate response to the invasion and related matters.
