The Department of State Services (DSS) has denied raiding the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) headquarters in Abuja.
The NLC claimed armed DSS operatives stormed their office Wednesday night and seized documents.
Afunanya said: “Good morning dear friends. Pls kindly note that the Service (DSS) did not carry out any operation at the NLC office in Abuja,”.
The NLC strongly condemned the raid, demanding the immediate withdrawal of security forces from its headquarters.
The NLC said: “The Nigeria Labour Congress condemns in its entirety this new low in security operations in Nigeria. The armed security operatives showed no legal document permitting them to invade the premises of the Nigeria Labour Congress in the ungodly hours of the night,”.
“Even in the dark days of military rule, NLC secretariats were never invaded and ransacked by security agents. Today is indeed a very sad day for our democracy.”
