The President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, Ayuba Wabba, yesterday dared Governor Nasir el-Rufai to come and arrest him and other other labour leaders after the governor declared the NLC president and other labour leaders wanted for alleged economic sabotage.
The governor also placed unspecified bounty on the labour leaders.
This came as armed thugs attacked labour leaders and workers and disrupted Tuesday’s protest by NLC leaders and aggrieved worker as part of ongoing five -day strike against wKaduna State government over perceived anti-workers policies including the recent sack of about 7000 workers including teachers.

ACF asks El-Rufai to rescind decision to sack workers
The ACF advises the Kaduna State government to reconsider its decision.
Nasir El-Rufai, to reconsider his plan to sack hundreds of civil servants in the state.
The ACF, a northern Nigerian socio-cultural organisation, also called on the warring parties to sheathe their swords in the interest of the larger population who are at the receiving end of the effects of the strike.
The ACF’s call followed that of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) which also urged the Kaduna governor to negotiate with the NLC to prevent the strike from crippling the state’s economy.
