Leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, have rejected the police explanation for the Wednesday night raid on Labour House, Abuja, headquarters of NLC, saying the police hierarchy is economical with the truth.
At the emergency National Executive Council, NEC, yesterday, NLC leaders demanded full disclosure from the Federal Government on the police invasion.
Congress leaders at a virtual NEC meeting contended that the government’s explanation would determine the next line of action, describing the invasion as highly provocative.
One of the NEC members, who spoke to Sunday Vanguard at the end of the meeting, among others, said: “NEC members were unanimous in rejecting the police explanation for the raid. We believe the police are being economical with the truth. None of the police explanations added up. The more you try to rationalize it, the more questions arise.“The police in their explanation, claimed they did not know that the building is NLC’s headquarters. Lie number one: The police headquarters is very close to the Labour House. On several occasions they have deployed their men to the Labour House during strikes, protests, rallies and so on.
“Lie number two: The police claimed they were looking for someone on the second floor of the Labour House. But they first came to the 10th floor where they abducted the NLC security guard. When they finished their illegal operations, they took the security guard to the second floor. What were the police looking for on the 10th floor?
“Lie number three: The bookshop at the second floor known as ‘Iva Valley Bookshop’ has been in the Labour House for years and the operator is a very known person even to the police because some policemen come there to buy books. Why is it now that the police realize that he is a criminal and dangerous to the state?
“Why will the police carry out their raid at such hour when most workers had gone home? These are some of the questions begging for answers.
“We are demanding full explanation and disclosure from government. “The raid was very provocative. We will not act now, according to NEC resolutions, we will wait for the government to give full explanation. Our reaction will be based on government’s full explanation.“So, we totally reject the police explanation and demand full explanations from government for the raid.”

Normally the matter no make sense but las las na dem dem.
Police will only say the truth if they find something incriminating against the NLC. But since they find nothing to tie down NLC or use them as a scapegoat they will lie

Our security agencies especially the NPF are always acting like criminals.
There is no professionalism in the discharge of their duties.
The worst part of it, is that they are bloody liers.
Very unprofessional police

The explanation would be more incongruous than the one already provided.
Popo Strategy is to tell them they are incompetent 😃😃😃😃
Maybe they were looking for bandits doing giveaway
I read the NPF reason for the raid and I was befuddled at the silliness of it…. definitely isn’t the real reason for the raid
