 NLC submits 6 fresh demands to call off strike


The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has called for the arrest and prosecution of one Mr Chinasa Nwaneri, SA on Special Duties to Hope Uzodimma, Governor of Imo State.


According to the NLC, Mr Nwaneri led the “deadly gang of thugs” who assaulted NLC President, Joe Ajaero in Imo. This is part of six (6) fresh demands submitted by the Union to call off the ongoing industrial strike action.


The Union also called for the arrest, prosecution and dismissal of all police officers involved in the brutalization of the NLC President and workers in Imo state; and also the arrest and prosecution of all thugs involved in the brutal attack.


In posts shared via X, the NLC also called for the arrest, prosecution and dismissal of the Chief Security Officer of Imo State Government House, identified only as SP Shaba, who the Union said led, participated and provided cover for thugs to brutalize workers.


According to the posts, the Police Area Commander that led the brutalization of Mr Ajaero and other workers in the State should be arrested, prosecuted and dismissed and that the former Imo State Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Barde should be investigated and prosecuted as well.


“The brutalization and deadly attack on NLC President and other workers in Imo State is not a local issue but a national matter. The national police were involved.


“The federal police were fully involved in the brutalization of NLC President and other workers in Imo State. Imo State has no state police.


“The Imo State government in collaboration with federal police attacked and dehuminised the number one leader of Africa’s largest labour center,” the Union stated.
