The detained four leaders of the Nigeria Union Road Transport Workers (NURTW) who were arrested over a month ago have been released by the police.
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, Mr Joe Ajaero, confirmed the release in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Friday.
Ajaero said that the officials were released on Thursday night after staying for more than a month in custody.
The released officials were the National President, Tajudeen Baruwa, General Secretary, Anthony Chukudi, Olayi Odion, National Trustee and Principal Assistant Secretary, Abdulrasak Yemi.
Recall that the National Executive Council (NEC) had during its meeting on Aug. 31 condemned the Police’s action and called for the release of the NURTW leadership.
This was part of NLC’s demand during the two-day nationwide warning strike held on Sept.5 and 6th.
