Edo State former governor, Senator Adams Oshiomhole has revealed his experience as a former president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), following the attack on the current president, Joe Ajaero in Imo State.

Oshiomhole said: “I had a similar experience… I was on my way to Delta State, and I went to the airport. The then director of SSS ordered that I should be arrested and stopped from traveling because we had given an ultimatum to the then Federal Government headed by President Olusegun Obasanjo.”

“They dragged me on the tarmac, and I had my cuts all over the place. They forcefully prevented me from flying and took me back to the DSS Director General’S office – then Col. Kayode Are.”

“He offered to take me to their own hospital, and I said, ‘No, I can’t even trust a government that has inflicted this kind of wound on me to treat me. They might as well poison my blood.’ I said I wasn’t going to do that.”

“I ended up in detention for at least 48 hours after being taken away and expressed my determination to continue the struggle for justice.”
