The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has alleged the invasion of its national secretariat in Abuja by armed security operatives both in uniform and mufti.
NLC President Mr Joe Ajaero, said this in a text message sent to the group WhatsApp platform of Labour Correspondents in Abuja.
Ajaero revealed that; “Comrades, armed security men, both in uniform and mufti just invaded the Labour House in their numbers and were at the 10th Floor and 2nd Floor,”he said.
He alleged that they ransacked books at the bookshop, carrying all the materials into their van claiming that the materials were used to incite and organise the recent protest.
Meanwhile, the Abuja Residents Youth Association (ARYA), has declared a week of peace, beginning from Aug. 11, to promote harmonious relationships among youths in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Mukhtar said that the measure was part of the association’s continued efforts toward promoting peace and unity in the FCT.
The President disclosed this at a news conference in Abuja, distanced the association from the ongoing nationwide protest against hunger, hardship and bad government.
He explained that the association would hold various activities during the week, including a peace walk, peace talk, prayer sessions, and other events aimed at fostering harmony and understanding among the youths.
“These activities will provide an opportunity for us to come together, reflect on our shared goals, and strengthen our resolve to maintain peace in our city.
“The Week of Peace will serve as a powerful reminder of our commitment to a peaceful and prosperous Abuja.
“By participating in these events, we can show our solidarity and dedication to building a city that thrives on unity and cooperation.
“We will use the week to engage in meaningful dialogue, to pray for our city’s continued growth, and to walk together in a demonstration of our shared commitment to peace,” he said.
He therefore commended the FCT Minister, Mr Nyesom Wike, for his proactive approach in addressing the grievances of the youth and initiating developmental strides that have transformed Abuja capital city.
