Nigeria Labour Congress Warns of Plot to Disrupt Nationwide Protest, Says Any Attack on Peaceful Protesters Will Be Treated as Terrorism
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has raised alarm over what it described as a clandestine plan to violently disrupt its nationwide National Day of Protest and Mourning scheduled for December 17, 2025. In a statement signed by Acting General Secretary Benson Upah, the labour centre said it received credible intelligence that armed thugs allegedly sponsored by political interests were being mobilised to infiltrate and attack peaceful protesters. The NLC warned that any such attack would amount to terrorism and vowed to shut down the country with an indefinite nationwide strike if a single protester is harmed. The planned protest, according to the Congress, is aimed at drawing attention to Nigeria’s worsening insecurity marked by killings, kidnappings and widespread violence, while urging security agencies, especially the police, to protect citizens exercising their constitutional rights.
