OWERRI — Police operatives in Imo State have reportedly arrested some officials of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Imo State University (IMSU) branch, following the union’s declaration of an indefinite strike.

The officials were said to have been arrested after participating in a radio programme on Tuesday, during which the union discussed its decision to embark on the industrial action.

Those reportedly arrested included the branch Chairman, Stephen Oguji, and some other officials of the union.

ASUU-IMSU had on Monday declared an indefinite strike over what it described as the non-implementation of an agreement on the welfare of academic staff and other conditions of service in public universities.
