The President of Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, on Friday gave an account of how he was brutalised in Imo State, saying police operatives handed him over to some suspected thugs for beating.
The NLC president narrated his traumatic experience at a world press conference in Abuja.
The development came barely 24 hours to the off-season governorship elections in Imo State.
Addressing journalists in Abuja, Ajaero, who wore a dark shade to cover his swollen eyes, lamented that the kind of beating he received after security agents handed him over to the thugs was better imagined than explained.
This was even as he claimed that the NLC wrote to intimate all the security agencies about the protest before the fateful day.
“I went to the (NLC) secretariat around 9am after receiving reports that some workers were beaten up and their phones seized.
“I went there with about 20 security personnel. I called for some journalists and other workers to address the press on the situation in Imo.
