NLC contradicts police’s account of raid on Labour union’s national secretariat

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) disputed on Saturday the police’s account of Wednesday’s raid on its headquarters in Abuja.

Contrary to the claim by the police that their operatives only visited a bookstore within the same building as the NLC to arrest a foreign national, the labour union said the invading police officers forced their way into its offices during the raid.

“The police claim to be conducting a nationwide investigation that comprises other countries, yet their so-called intelligence led them to our building well after office hours.
