ABUJA — The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has condemned the conduct of operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) during the remand of African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The labour centre described the actions of the security operatives as unnecessary, embarrassing and inconsistent with the professionalism expected of the nation’s secret service.

In a statement issued by its President, Joe Ajaero, the NLC expressed concern over what it termed the “bullish behaviour” and public humiliation of Sowore while he was being taken into custody.

The statement, titled “Respect Rights of Others,” questioned the role being played by the DSS in the matter and the manner in which the agency has handled the case.
