Ten affiliates of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria have charged Inspector General of Police , Usman Alkali Baba, to enforce order of the National Industrial Court, restraining the Labour centre from holding its 12th Triennial Delegates’ Conference.
Justice Rabiu Gwandu of the NIC, Lagos, on July 6, 2022, restrained TUC from holding or taking further steps in conducting elections for president and other national positions pending hearing and determination of a suit filed by the affiliated unions. They continued: “So long as the order exists, it must be obeyed to the letter. An order or judgment of court remains legally binding and valid until set aside by due process of law
The petitioners insisted that the force would be acting in the public interest and also preventing a major national crisis within the labour circle if it stops the conference.
