The statement also called on the police to vacate the secretariat premises, return all confiscated property to the Congress, and pledge to desist from any further interference in trade union activities.
Additionally, the NLC condemned the actions of both the police and Edo State Governor, Mr. Monday Okpebholo, accusing them of orchestrating an unlawful invasion of the NLC State Secretariat.
The Union stated that the “ brazen act of impunity included the ransacking of properties and the unlawful removal of items, all in a bid to impose an illegitimate leadership on the workers”
“Failure to comply will compel the Congress to initiate unprecedented measures in defence of workers and trade union rights.
