In a startling video that has just emerged, the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero found himself at the center of a distressing incident with visible bruises on his face after he was allegedly beaten.
The embattled NLC President claimed that he was subjected to a severe beating by law enforcement officers.
In his own words, he exclaimed, “They beat me, oh! God must have taken extra time to create me.” These words reflect the physical and emotional toll he endured during the incident. According to the NLC President, he was presented with an ex parte letter, which he vehemently argued was expired and, therefore, held no legal authority over him.
The video captures the NLC President en route to the Federal Medical Center, presumably seeking urgent medical attention to address his injuries. This incident has sent shockwaves through the community, sparking concerns about the treatment of citizens by law enforcement officers and the need for a thorough investigation into this troubling episode.
The NLC Presidents decision to join a protest in Imo state 10 days to their cycle has drawn mixed reactions as to its intent and timing.
The NLC President’s resilience in the face of adversity has garnered significant attention, with many demanding justice and accountability for the alleged assault.
