The protest by the Nigeria Labour Congress in Kaduna state has turned violent as armed thugs attacked the workers with dangerous weapons.
The workers had converged at the popular NEPA roundabout in the Kaduna capital city to continue the day two of their protest when the thugs invaded the area and started throwing stones and other dangerous weapons at them.
The attack forced many of the protesters to scamper for safety.
It is not known who actually sent the thugs, but the NLC President, AYUBA WABBA pointed accusing fingers at the state governor, NASIR EL-RUFAI.
