Organised labour comprising of Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress of Nigeria has declared a nationwide strike over the beating and abduction of their President, Joe Ajaero.
According to the leaders of the joint union, the Federal Government is given a six-point demand, including the immediate removal of the Commissioner of Police, Imo State, and Area Commander, among other officials, for their alleged complicity in the brutalisation and humiliation of Ajaero and other workers.
The strike scheduled to be held on Wednesday, November 8, 2023, was made known in a press briefing on Friday.
However, the Imo State government has denied any involvement in the mal-handling and arrest of the NLC boss.
Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma also accused the NLC President, Ajaero, of trying to politicize the situation.
