The Nation Newspaper NLC accuses Uzodinma of sponsoring attack on Ajaero's village
The NLC said the alleged attack on Azalla Owalla in Emekuku, the hometown of NLC president, was “carried out under the misguided belief that Comrade Ajaero was still present, recovering from injuries inflicted by the police and hired thugs.”
The NLC president last week led workers to Owerri, the Imo State capital, to protest alleged failure of the Governor to keep to signed agreements and pay workers salaries.The NLC accused the state government and Commissioner of Police of being behind the attack on its president. “The use of excessive force against citizens who hold differing opinions or dare to question the Governor’s governance style, particularly in relation to the inhumane treatment of workers in Imo State, is an affront to democracy. The current situation in Imo State is nothing short of a descent into fascism, where terror takes precedence over reason, and dialogue is pushed to the sidelines.
“The people of Azalla Owalla are entitled to their peace, and the continued occupation of their community by the Police and Uzodimma’s thugs, in the wake of the assault on their fellow citizens, constitutes an ongoing insult.
