The Nigeria Labour Congress(NLC) has described the invasion by security operatives as a dangerous signal.
Recall that the Police raided headquarters of the Congress (NLC) over allegations that members of the organised labour sponsored the #EndBadGovernance protest.
Some labour leaders who spoke to Daily Trust on Wednesday night, said main officials had left when the operatives stormed the building. 
One of the labour leaders said he spoke to a private security guard attached to building on phone and confirmed that the masked operatives with assorted rifles raided the office.
He said the guards told him that the operatives went directly to the 10th floor of the building where the office of the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, is located.
The official added the guard confided in him that the masked operatives later came back to second floor where some offices belonging to NLC are located.
Reacting in a statement, Comrade Benson Upah, Head, Media and Public Relations of the NLC, condemned the act.
“This evening at about 8.30 pm long after the close of work, a troop of heavily armed security operatives invaded the Labour House, Central Business District, Abuja which serves as the National Headquarters and Secretariat of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).”
“The security operatives, some from the Nigeria Police Force, some wearing black tee-shirts presumably from the Department of State Services (DSS), and others on outright mufti swooped on the 10th Floor of the NLC and arrested the security operative on duty and then commandeered him to the second floor where he was asked to produce the keys to the offices. When he told them that he had no such keys on him, they broke into the 10th floor and ransacked the bookshop on the 2nd floor carting away hundreds of books and other publications. The invading troop claimed that they were looking for seditious materials used for the #EndBadGoveranance Protests.
“The Nigeria Labour Congress condemns in its entirety this new low in security operations in Nigeria. The armed security operatives showed no legal document permitting them to invade the premises of the Nigeria Labour Congress in the ungodly hours of the night. Even in the dark days of military rule, NLC secretariats were never invaded and ransacked by security agents. Today is indeed a very sad day for our democracy.”
Ujah said the invasion occurred hours after the National Executive Council of the NLC took note and condemned the high-handed manner that security agents manhandled protesters in many parts of the country “and the needless bloodshed that ensued”.
