Although the police have vowed that they “are working to rescue him,” the organised labour, comprising the NLC, the Trade Union Congress and other affiliate unions, have threatened a strike if the kidnapped state chairman of NLC, Ukpepi was not released unharmed in the next 24 hours.
The level of insecurity in the country has become alarming, including the unchecked activities of terrorists, bandits, criminal herdsmen, and internet scammers.
