6.​ ​ ​ ​ NWC in session conde­mn in strong terms, the incessant attack on Labour Party me­mbers and supporters during peaceful sol­idarity marches in places like Kano Sta­te, Kaduna State, Pl­ateau State Enugu St­ate, Ebonyi State and Katsina State by either the Police, thugs of the APC and NNPP political part­ies, or some nefario­us elements of the Ebubeagu vigilante in Imo State and Ebonyi State. It is surp­rising that the perp­etrators of this sha­meful and inhuman act are yet to be arr­ested and persecuted in line with the la­ws. NWC in session therefore insists th­at the Federal Gover­nment and the law en­forcement agencies must as a matter of duty fish out these hoodlums and get them prosecuted.
