LIVE UPDATES: Police officers reportedly beat up union leader in Ebonyi state

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and its affiliate groups have
restrategised on how to make sure the second day of their industrial
action is a huge success.
The labour unions in the country had commenced an indefinite strike on
Wednesday, May 18, to ask for the reversal of fuel pump price of
Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) otherwise known as petrol from the N145
which the removal of fuel subsidy pegged it.
This was in spite of a court injunction restraining them from carrying
out same action, especially after the federal government, in a meeting
with the union leaders on Tuesday night, had agreed to have a
committee to review the fuel pump price and the minimum wage issue.
There was an impediment on their movement in Lagos as police
officers tried to stop them from moving towards Airport Road in
Ikejaarea of the state, but the unionists told the security operatives
that they were supposed to support and not stop them in the struggle.
