The Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, and the Police Sercvice Commission has been issued a 21-day ultimatum to redeploy the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Joseph Mbu.

CEOAFRICA news desk gathered that the ultimatum which was allegedly targeted to avert an indefinite workers’ strike was issued by the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress.

The Union, NLC and TUC, has at a joint press briefing organized to address the dispersing of 13,000 teachers at the Port Harcourt Liberation Stadium and the continued blockade of Obio/Okpor council secretariat issued this ultimatum.

The State NLC Chairman, Dr. Chris Oruge, who spoke during the event that was held in Port Harcourt explained that the organized labour also demands a complete apology from the IGP and the State Police Commissioner for dispersing the teachers who came to collect their letters of posting.

Oruge recalled that Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu has continued to lock Obio/Akpor Local Government Council Secretariat despite a subsisting court order that the police should vacate the Obio/Akpor Local Government premises and allow the workers unrestricted access to their workplace.

He stressed that the organised labour views the action of the commissioner of police as a direct challenge to a competent order of the court and an invitation to organised labour anarchy in Rivers State.

The State TUC Chairman, Mr. Chika Onuegbu, also expressed worry that Obio/Akpor council workers had not receive their May, June, July and August salaries due to the continued closure of the secretariat by the police.
