On Wednesday, Nuhu Ribadu, the national security adviser, announced that certain individuals had been taken into custody in relation to the attack on Joe Ajero, Nigeria Labour Congress President.
The National Security Agency (NSA) has initiated an inquiry into the ongoing industrial action by the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress. The NSA voiced alarm over this development.
This was revealed in a statement released by Zakari Mijinyawa, the head of the National Security Advisor’s Strategic Communication Office.
The statement partly read, “NSA Urges Labour to Rescind Strike, Condemns Attack on NLC President, says Suspects Arrested Over Attack and Investigations have commenced.
“The Office of the National Security Adviser is concerned by the declaration of a nationwide strike by the leadership of the Organised Labour led by the NLC and TUC. The NSA is particularly worried about the implications of the strike action on the livelihood of ordinary Nigerians and its potential impact on economic security and other strategic national interests.
“As attested by the NLC leadership, the NSA immediately intervened on learning about the travails of the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress Joseph Ajaero who was assaulted in Owerri, Imo State. The NSA regrets the incident and condemns it in its entirety as it was against the rule of law and the principles of freedom of association and expression subscribed to by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his administration. The Federal Government will never condone such an act. ”
The NSA assured that the outcome of the investigation would be made public, appealing to the unions to call off the strike.
“As a fallout of the incident relevant authorities were directed to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the assault and bring to book the culprits. Available update indicates that some arrests have already been made in this regard. The outcome of the investigation will be made public as soon as it is concluded.
“The Federal Government, through the Office of the NSA, therefore appeals to the labour leadership to call off the current strike action and allow the dialogue process underway to be exhausted, ” the statement added.
