Fish Out Killers Of Our Comrades, Innocent Nigerians, Bring Them To Justice Now – TUC Tells FG

Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) has strongly condemned the murder of its Secretary General, Comrade (Barr.) Musa-Lawal Ozigi, Kwara State Chairman, Comrade Akin Akinsola and other innocent Nigerians, while traveling by train from Abuja to Kaduna on Monday, March 28, and demand the Federal Government to fish out the killers and ensure those abducted are released immediately.

A statement signed by TUC, President Comrade Quadri Olaleye, said ; “it has been three days now since these innocent law-abiding Nigerians were gruesomely murdered. In our opinion no sensible government will just observe a one-minute silence at the Federal Executive Council meeting of 30th March 2022 without taking a decision to end the unbridled killings of Nigerians.

“The government should go beyond that to condole the families of the deceased, openly condemn the act and issue a marching order to its entire security chiefs to fish out and punish the perpetrators of the dastardly act.”

According to TUC it is unfortunate the Buhari led administration which campaign manifestos promised to tame insecurity and protect lives and properties has woefully failed in this regard.
TUC noted that the roads, air and rail transport systems are no longer safe and asked the current administration to quit immediately if it can no longer guarantee safety of lives and property of citizens.

“TUC said no government sits and watches its people die like chickens; it is clear that this administration has performed far below average in providing security to Nigerians.

“The Congress, hereby, mandates all its affiliates throughout the country, and our civil society allies to get ready to engage Government to rise up to its constitutional role of protecting citizens and properties. If nothing is done by this administration to fish out these criminals, rescue those held captive and bring them to justice the organized labour is going to react.

“Workers are advised to wear a black hand band as a mark of displeasure for the insecurity in the country which of course is responsible for the death of our comrades.

“We are determined to continue the struggle for which our comrades paid the supreme price. We will not be deterred until we have an egalitarian Nigeria, where governance is not left in the hands of charlatans; a country where the lives of the citizens matter and our collective prosperity is equitably shared”, TUC said.
