NLC in Delta State Launches Indefinite Strike Over Death
The Delta State Chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) declared an indefinite strike in Delta State after the death of Mr. Unity Adedah, a deputy director in the ministry of secondary education. The strike was announced by the State NLC chairman, Goodluck Oforbruku, during a protest by civil servants at the Chike Edozien secretariat in Asaba.
Civil servants had previously shut down the State Secretariat following Adedah's death. Reports indicate that he died after being tied up and severely beaten by thugs, allegedly on the orders of Dr. Kingsley Ashibogwu, the Commissioner for Secondary Education in Delta State.
The incident has sparked outrage among workers, leading to the strike declaration as a form of protest against the circumstances surrounding Adedah's death.
