Protest organised by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Kaduna State, have been interrupted by “thugs” alleged to be hired by the Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir El Rufai.
According to sources, during the rally, some alleged thugs arrived in two cars, including KEKE NAPEP, and began throwing stones at the demonstrators.
Some of the attackers whose faces were covered wielded knives and sticks and attacked the protesters, as well as journalists.
“They came in car and started throwing stones on the workers protesting. People started running but the workers were able to chase them away,” an eye witness said.
During the protest, the striking workers blocked the main road, forcing motorists to divert to other routes.
