The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has raised an alarm over a planned protest at its National Secretariat in Garki 2, Abuja.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the union, in a statement on Monday, said the protest is being planned by a group of disgruntled elements who are not members of the union.
The group is reportedly planning to disguise as aggrieved members of the union and stage a violent protest in order to perpetrate their nefarious activities and attack people in the FCT and destroy property at the secretariat.
NURTW said it has notified the police and other relevant security agencies of the planned protest and warned that it will not condone any act of lawlessness.
The statement read: “The National Union of Road Transport Workers have uncovered the plot to attack the National Secretariat of the union in Garki 2 and cause breakdown of law and order in the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT ).
“We learnt that their plan is to disguise as aggrieved members of the union and stage a violent protest in order to perpetrate their nefarious activities and attack people in the FCT and destroy property at the secretariat.
“They have mobilized some thugs and hoodlums into Abuja and held a meeting at a hotel in Wuye on Saturday.
“We are using this medium to alert the general public to watch out. These people are not our members, they just want to cause violence in the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT ). We are using this medium to call on the security agencies to rise up to the occasion and prevent the breakdown of law and order,” the statement said.
