NLC- Alleged Terror Unleashed,Gov Hope Uzodimma
The verbal war between the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State over last week’s attacks on the former’s president, Joe Ajaero, continued yesterday as the labour centre called on President Bola Tinubu to break his silence and call the governor to order over the terror allegedly unleashed on the state.
The NLC alleged that barely three days after Uzodimma sent thugs and the Police to brutalize its president, Comrade Joe Ajaero, the governor on Saturday allegedly invaded and attacked his (Ajaero) home town, Azalla Owalla, at Emekuku in Owerri, the state capital, to continue his onslaught.
But Governor Uzodimma in a swift reaction, insisted he had no hand in either the NLC president’s ordeal or the invasion of his community.
However, NLC in a statement issued by Comrade Benson Upah, Head, Media and Information, alleged that the mission was to allegedly assassinate Comrade Ajaero under the misguided belief that he was still present, recovering from injuries inflicted on him by the police and hired thugs on 1. November.
Uzodimma, who spoke through his Special Adviser on Print Media, Amby Uneze, said: “It is in the public domain that the government has no hand in what happened.
“Even the report of the Police said Ajaero was saved from being mobbed. It was mob action and the Police saved him. It was based on Police investigation.
