New Telegraph reports that the NLC raised the alarm over the reported invasion of its office by security agents.

The union in a statement signed by Comrade Benson Upah, Head, Media and Public Relations, and shared on its official X handle on Wednesday, claimed that a troop of heavily armed security operatives invaded the Labour House in the Central Business District, Abuja.

Labour also called for the immediate withdrawal of Federal Government armed security agents from its office.
