DSS Invades NLC Headquarters Over Alleged Sponsorship Of #EndBadGovernance Protest

The headquarters of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has been raided by
security operation suspected to be from the Department of State Services (DSS) over allegations that members of the organised labour sponsored the #EndBadGovernance protest.

Some labour leaders who spoke to Daily Trust on Wednesday night, said everyone in the building had left for their various residence when the operatives stormed the building.

One of the labour leaders said he spoke to one of the private security guards attached to building on phone and confirmed that the masked operatives with assorted rifles stormed there at about 10pm.

He said the guards told him that the operatives went directly to the 10th floor of the building where the office of the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, is located.

The official added the guard confided in him that the masked operatives later came back to second floor where some offices belonging to NLC are located.

NLC in a post on its X, formerly Twitter account, confirmed the raid.

It wrote, “Armed Security men both in uniform and mufty just invaded the Labour house in their numbers and were at the 10th floor and 2nd floor.

“The broke into 2nd floor and ransacked books at the bookshop carrying all the material into their vans claiming the materials were used to incite and organise the recent protest.”

Efforts to get official reaction from the Department of State Services (DSS) proved abortive as calls to the spokesman of the secret police, Peter Afunanya rang out.

He was yet to reply to a text message sent to him as at when filing this report at about 11:15pm on Wednesday.
