The Nation Newspaper NLC, TUC threaten strike over attack on Ajaero
The organised labour yesterday threatened to embark on a nationwide strike beginning from Wednesday next week unless certain conditions are met by the federal government.Ajaero, who was in Owerri on Wednesday to mobilise workers for a “shut down” of the state, was attacked at the Sam Mbakwe Airport, following which the police said the labour leader was taken into “protective custody”.
According to labour, “Ajaero, who was blindfolded, beaten to a pulp, brutalised, humiliated and violated by police personnel before he was taken to an unknown destination where he was subjected to more battering and torture, could not recognise the people around him, neither could he walk without being aided or supported when he was released.”
“Mr Nwaneri Chinasa, Adviser on Special Duties, who supervised the terror on workers and bestial brutality meted out to Congress President Comrade Joe Ajaero, be arrested immediately and prosecuted for his crimes against workers and the President. The statement added: “We find it appropriate to let Nigerians know the sequence of events that led to our going to Owerri for a peaceful protest, but which was aborted by the police and hoodlums recruited by the State Governor.
“Let us assume there was a court order. When was it granted and where was it granted? How was the order obtained and on whom was it served and when?“Comrade Ajaero was not the only one beaten and arrested by the police but he was the major target, thus received the most bestial and reprehensive treatment.
“Earlier, hoodlums sent by the State Governor had stationed themselves around the streets leading to the Secretariat, beating up workers who had reported at the secretariat and dispossessing them of their personal items including money, phones and laptops.”
