NLC president Joe Ajaero said this in a text message sent to the group WhatsApp platform of labour correspondents on Wednesday in Abuja.

Mr Ajaero said that the invasion of the Labour House was carried out at about 9:00 p.m.

“Comrades, armed security men, both in uniform and mufti, just invaded the Labour House in their numbers and were at the 10th Floor and 2nd Floor,” he said.

He alleged that “they ransacked books at the bookshop, carrying all the materials into their van, claiming that the materials were used to incite and organise the recent protest.”
