The Department of State Service, DSS, has denied playing a role in the reported raid of the headquarters of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC.

DSS specifically said it did not carry out any operation at the NLC office in Abuja.

”Please kindly note that the Service (DSS) did not carry out any operation at the NLC office in Abuja,” it posted on the official X handle on Thursday.

The NLC had raised alarm over the reported invasion of its office by security agencies. 

The union in a statement signed by Benson Upah Head, Media and Public Relations, and shared on its official X handle on Wednesday, claimed that a troop of heavily armed security operatives invaded the Labour House located at Central Business District, Abuja.

Labour also called for the immediate withdrawal of federal government armed security agents from its office.

Senator Shehu Sani, a former lawmaker, in a reaction maintained that the invasion of the NLC, headquarters as needless, unconscionable and condemnable.
