Delta State Labor Strike Follows Civil Servant's Death
Organized labor in Delta State has declared a strike after the controversial death of Mr. Unity Ekpevbughe Adeda, a 54-year-old deputy director, following an altercation at the office of Dr. Kingsley Ashibogwu, the Commissioner for Secondary Education. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) announced a dispute with the Delta state government, directing workers to withdraw their services immediately.
The incident has sparked conflicting narratives; Dr. Ashibogwu denied any involvement in an alleged assault, claiming that Adeda was the aggressor during the confrontation. In contrast, Adeda's sister, Ovwigho, alleged that her brother was brutally assaulted at work and later found in a severely injured state at the hospital.
The Delta state Police command has initiated an investigation, confirming the arrest of one suspect, Lucky Adoh, and is pursuing others connected to the incident. The police investigation aims to clarify the circumstances surrounding Adeda's death.
