Joe Ajaero, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), on Friday, alleged that the Police who arrested him in Imo handed him over to some thugs.
Ajaero said he was arrested by the police in Owerri, Imo state capital and handed over to thugs numbering seven who “beat him and dragged him on the floor like a common criminal.”
The NLC president at a press conference in Abuja gave his account of how he was beaten in Imo state during the planned protest against the treatment of the workers by the State Government.
Ajaero noted that all the security agencies were written to before they went to the state for the protest last week.
The NLC president said thugs beat up and seized the phones of workers who arrived at the venue of the protest on that day around 7 am.
Ajaero said he got there around 9 am after he got the report of an assault on workers.
He said: “I can’t explain the beating I received. They tied my hands and dragged me on the floor like a common criminal.”
Ajaero debunked claim he is working for a political party, adding that he is not a card-carrying member of any political party.
