Kaduna State Police Command said it has arrested some thugs that attempted to invade the secretariat of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in the state.

Police spokesman Mohammed Jalige told The Guardian that there was an attempt by some hoodlums to invade the NLC secretariat.

Jalige said the thugs also tried to attack peaceful protesters but police officers guarding the premises repelled the thugs and made some arrests.
