We didn’t carry out any operation at NLC office – DSS

The Department of State Services, DSS, has denied playing a role in the reported raid of the headquarters of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC.

DSS specifically said that it did not carry out any operation at the NLC office in Abuja.

“Please kindly note that the Service (DSS) did not carry out any operation at the NLC office in Abuja,” DSS posted on its official X handle on Thursday.

DAILY POST reports that the NLC had raised the alarm over the reported invasion of its office by security agents.

The union in a statement signed by Comrade Benson Upah, Head, Media and Public Relations, and shared on its official X handle on Wednesday, claimed that a troop of heavily armed security operatives invaded the Labour House in the Central Business District, Abuja.

Labour also called for the immediate withdrawal of Federal Government armed security agents from its office.

Reacting to the development, Senator Shehu Sani, a former lawmaker, declared the invasion of the NLC headquarters as needless, unconscionable and condemnable.
