The president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajero, has been whisked away by security operatives at the ongoing protest in Owerri, the capital of Imo state.
At the same time, the demonstrators at the protests have been attacked, as there have been reports of the damaging of cars and wounding of labour members. Even Journalists who came to cover the event were not spared as they ran to the bush for their safety.
