The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) yesterday sought investigation into the clash between soldiers and members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, otherwise called the Shiite.
In a statement by its President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, the congress said it was unacceptable that the Army would declare war of attrition against unarmed citizens.
The NLC said at a time when the country had lost lives and property, following insurgents’ activities, it must avoid further killings and destruction, adding that the poverty affecting the people was worsened by violence.
