    Police Clarify Alleged Raid on Labour House, Set the Record Straight

    The Nigerian Police has debunked allegations leveled against it that their personnel raided the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) National Secretariat, known as Labour House, in Abuja.

    According to a statement issued on Friday by the Force Public Relations Officer, FPPRO ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the police noted that a press release was issued on August 7, 2024, by the NLC’s Head of Media and Public Relations.

    The release alleged that officers of the Nigeria Police Force, along with some individuals in black T-shirts and others in plain clothes, raided the Labour House.

    “The Nigeria Police Force wishes to clarify that a prime criminal suspect in an ongoing investigation was traced to a shop within the building in the Central Business District, Abuja where armed Detectives, with the appropriate legal authority, conducted an operation at the location, which turned out to be the NLC building.”

    “This well-coordinated, lawful operation was solely aimed at apprehending the prime suspect, a foreign nationale implicated in numerous criminal activities across Nigeria and other African countries.”

    The police emphasized that the operation had no connection with the NLC, its Secretariat, staff, or leadership. “The NLC Secretariat was not the focus of the operation, which targeted a rented shop within the building used by the suspect as a front for his criminal activities in Nigeria.”

    The Nigeria Police Force seeks the cooperation and support of the NLC leadership as they continue the investigation, which is vital to safeguarding the nation. The high-profile nature of the suspect poses a significant security threat to Nigeria and other African nations, making the investigation crucial for the safety of all involved, including the NLC.

    The Nigeria Police Force stressed that they remain committed to upholding the rule of law, maintaining professionalism, and respecting human rights in the discharge of their statutory duties. They also urge Nigerians to remain vigilant and conduct security profiling of individuals seeking to rent space within their premises.
