The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has condemned the alleged intimidation and humiliation of an activist, Omoleye Sowore, by agents of the Department of State Security Services (DSS) within the premises of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
In a statement signed by NLC President Joe Ajaero, the labour movement described the alleged acts as “s unnecessary and embarrassing.”
He said: “We are appalled by the conduct of the DSS at the Federal High Court, Abuja, while taking into custody Mr. Omoyele Sowore.
“The rowdy scene, bullish behaviour, the mass intimidation by the personnel, and the humiliation of Sowore were unnecessary and embarrassing to an organisation that carries with it a certain level of sophistication or elegance.
“We are opposed to this kind of drama by our Secret Service, as there was no need for it. Who were they re-enacting this for, anyway?
