Imo State Police Command operatives have arrested the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero.
It was gathered that Ajaero was whisked away by the police at the ongoing protest in Imo State.
According to reports, the development took place as hoodlums descended on protesters, smashing vehicles and inflicting wounds on labor members.
At the time of filing this report, the whereabouts of the NLC President were unknown, as heavily armed security personnel took him away.
Ajaero had earlier directed all members of the union and affiliate unions to shut down all sectors in Imo State, including air, land, and sea, as the union commences protests today.
The NLC is leading a statewide protest and strike in Owerri over what it described as a lack of respect for workers and unpaid salaries, amongst others.
NLC president had accused the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, of violating and neglecting workers’ welfare.
