BREAKING: IGP Told To Arrest And Prosecute Ajaero

Bello Galadi, the former Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Gusau Branch (covering Zamfara State), has urged the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to apprehend, investigate, and prosecute Joe Ajaero, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), for causing distress to over 200 million Nigerians through the nationwide strike initiated by the labor unions.

In a statement provided to Vanguard on Wednesday, Galadi expressed his disapproval of the attack on Ajaero but suggested that instead of resorting to a strike, Ajaero should have pursued legal avenues to enforce his rights and seek damages.

The former NBA Chairman argued that the strike, which he characterized as a form of self-help, has unnecessarily heightened tension and worsened the plight of the masses. As a result, Galadi called for Ajaero’s arrest due to his actions.

According to him, “I personally condemn the attack and brutalization of the NLC President in Owerri, Imo State. I urge the IGP to intensify efforts to arrest, investigate and prosecute the culprits.

“In the same vein, I personally do not see any relationship between the assault on the NLC President and strike action. While the assault is personal, strike is official.

“The fundamental rights of the NLC President is enshrined and protected under Section 34(1) of the Nigeria’s Constitution. Instead of the NLC President to enforce his rights in a court of law and seek damages, he resorted to self- help, thereby caused unnecessary tension and aggravated the suffering of the masses.

“It is unwarranted to shut down the whole country, including schools, offices, businesses, courts, hospitals because of the personal interest of an individual. An innocent man from Kebbi to suffer for an incident that occurred in Imo. It makes no sense to me to punish over 200 million Nigerians for the wrong committed by few individuals. You cannot fix an injustice with an injustice.

“IGP should therefore arrest, investigate and prosecute the NLC President for actions likely to cause breach of the public peace. This becomes necessary so as to deter other leaders from abusing their offices in future,” the former NBA Chairman, Galadi however stated.
