The Labour Party has thrown its weight behind calls by the Nigeria Labour Congress to redeploy the Imo State Commissioner of Police, Stephen Olarewaju.
The party, in a statement issued on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, was reacting to the alleged attack on the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero in the state.
recalls that Ajaero, who was in Owerri on Wednesday to mobilize workers for a protest over unpaid salaries in Imo State, was allegedly kidnapped by the police and brutalized. The leadership of the NLC and the Trade Union Congress, TUC had on Friday, issued a 5-day ultimatum to the federal government to remove the police boss over his alleged involvement in the attack. The Labour Party, while reacting to the attack on Ajaero, said the police structure in Imo State must be rejigged.
