Paschal Emeka, Abuja | Posted November 4, 2023

Following the alleged brutalisation and humiliation of the President of Nigeria Labour Congress, Comrade Joe Ajaero, on Wednesday in Owerri, Imo state, the Trade Union Congress, TUC, and the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has declared a nationwide strike.

Addressing Journalists in Abuja on Friday, the leadership of the NLC and TUC issued a 6 point demand to the federal government, including the immediate removal of the Imo State Commissioner of Police and the Area Commander, among other police officers, for their alleged involvement in the brutalisation and humiliation of Ajaero and other workers.

According to the organised Labour leaders, the nationwide strike will commence on Wednesday, November 8, 2023.

Recall that the NLC President was reportedly arrested and brutalized during the organised labour protest in Imo State on Wednesday.

Ajaero was whisked away by men of the Nigerian Police Force and later appeared with injuries on his face, revealing that he was beaten.

Speaking on the development on Thursday, the NLC Publicity Secretary, Benson Upah, said Ajaero could not be treated at the Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Owerri, because of the degree of injuries he sustained, hence the need to fly him abroad for treatment.
