Miscreants have attacked some members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) enforcing the ongoing indefinite strike in Jos, the Plateau State capital.
While on a mission of enforcing the strike which began on Monday in Jos, hoodlums at a private transport company attacked some NLC members, resulting in them being rushed to the hospital,” Vice Chairman of NLC in Plateau, Sunday Ayodele, explained.
“Immediately the touts at the park saw us arriving at the gate, they started hauling stones at us, thinking we were members of the NURTW.
“Unknown to us, there is a pending dispute between the private transport company and NURTW Jos. And the touts in the park simply descended on our members. Before we could understand the reason for the attack, the touts had injured 4 members of NLC.
“It took the intervention of the security agencies for calm to be restored at the park. We had to withdraw our enforcement team from the park to allow peace to reign.”
