A woman who was a victim of the alleged thugs’ attack refused to either identify herself or speak to journalists.The picketing of the minister’s private residence by the labour was said to have started about 5 am with two petroleum tankers used to block the entrance and exit points of the house. Trouble was said to have started an hour later after some people suspected to be thugs stormed the Minister’s residence in a white Toyota Hiace bus, dressed in black attire with an inscription on some of their shirts “Police Swat”.
Labour had rejected the replacement of the name of Chief Kokori with his kinsman Austin Isere and accused the Minister of orchestrating the crisis for selfish interest.NLC at a briefing in Abuja Tuesday threatened to embark on many actions to compel the Minister to inaugurate the board including picketing the Minister.
He equally informed that the Commissioner of Police and the Director, Department of State Services, DSS had visited the victims at the hospital. “Therefore we have nothing to do with him and under the circumstance, except Mr President Muhammadu Buhari intervenes; workers are going to down-tools. That is why we are calling our Central Working Committee, CWC. It has never been so bad where Minister of Labour will bring thugs to attack workers. That has never been heard. It is on record and everybody has seen it.
