The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Wednesday staged a protest over the spate of insecurity in different parts of the country.

The NLC was joined by different civil society organisations, who carried placards calling for urgent actions to address the security problems.
Demonstrations were recorded in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Niger, Taraba and Lagos states, under the watchful eyes of security agents.
But the Edo State council of the NLC withdrew from the nationwide protest against insecurity, saying that the timing of the protest was not appropriate.
It explained that the state serves as a major transit route to several parts of the country, especially during this period of increased travel.
It also noted that the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, was currently marking the annual Igue festival, which had attracted a large influx of visitors to Benin City.
