Members of the Department of State Services (DSS) have been dispatched to the Lagos State Assembly complex, where the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is currently staging a protest.
The need for this came when the protesters led by the leaders of the Organised Labour, Joe Ajaero of the Nigeria Labour Congress and Festus Osifo of the Trade Union Congress asked security operatives stationed at the legislative building to open the gates to allow the angry workers to express their displeasure.
The operatives were sighted on the premises of the complex while the protesters converged at the entrance of the gate.
The Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Obafemi Hamzat, had earlier addressed members of the organised labour and called for calm.
Following the failure of the security officials to adhere, angry protesters pulled down the gates and thronged into the assembly complex to vent their anger
