The State Security Service (SSS) has said it was not involved in the security raid on the headquarters of the Nigeria Labour Congress on Wednesday night.
PREMIUM TIMES reported the raid, as announced by the NLC, whose spokesperson said it was carried out by “heavily armed” security operatives including police operatives.
Some of the security operatives were plain-clothed, with the NLC suggesting they could have been SSS operatives.
In a short statement posted on X, the SSS said it did not “carry out any operation at the NLC office in Abuja.”
The police have yet to speak on the raid as of the time of this report.
