NIGERIA Labour Congress, NLC, yesterday, said it would resist alleged use of police by Imo State Government to chase out workers from offices, especially, paratatals in order to concession them.
Congress urged the Inspector General of Police, to immediately call to order the Imo State Police
Commissioner to forestall a complete breakdown of law and order.
In a statement, Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson, General Secretary, of Ayuba Wabba led faction of NLC, in Abuja said “It has come to our attention that the government of Imo State is using the members of the Nigeria Police Force to chase out workers from offices, especially, paratatals in order to concession them. In the course of this, we have been reliably informed that scores of workers have been arrested, brutalised and tear-gassed.
No matter the reason, the Government have no right to brutally harass it's people. Even the police aided in these act.
The Police is suppose to maintain law and order, not cause chaos by harassing civilians.
