Update: Police open fire on protesting Nasarawa workers, kill 1

Police in Nasarawa State on Friday shot four workers as the Nigeria Labour Congress began talks with the state government over the protracted labour crisis rocking the state.
NLC president, Ayuba Wabba, told journalists at the police clinic in Lafia that the workers were shot by a policeman at the gate of the Government House where they had gone to wait for the outcome of the NLC meeting with Gov. Umaru Al-Makura.
Workers in the state had embarked on an indefinite strike following the decision of the state government to slash their salary by 50 per cent.
According to Mr. Wabba, one of the workers died, while three others, including a woman, were being treated for gunshot wounds at the clinic.
He said the dead victim was a staff of the state Ministry of Education, while the three others who sustained gunshot wounds included a staff of Doma Local Government Council, the Judicial Service Commission and a journalist with the defunct Nigerian Newsday, a state-owned media outfit.
“The workers were unarmed and peacefully protesting for their rights only to be shot at by policemen stationed at the government house gate.
“We do not know what prompted them to shoot at unarmed workers who were waiting for us to finish discussion with the state government over the issue of their emoluments.
“They were attacked with maximum force. You can see one dead, two critically injured. They were very peaceful, unfortunately the police, under whatever pretense opened fire. It is most unfortunate,” he said.
Mr. Wabba said when the NLC officials got wind of the incident and approached the Commissioner of Police, Abubakar Bello, he said there was no casualty.
The NLC boss called on the police authority to fish out those responsible for the shooting or face a nationwide protest by the congress.
“The rules of engagement in such a situation must be adhered to as everybody around the world has a right to protest. These workers have a right under the law,” he said.
Mr. Wabba appealed to workers to remain calm and law abiding as the national leadership would take up the issue and will inform them on the next line of action.
Reacting over the alleged shooting, the Commissioner of Police, Abubakar Bello, said he was yet to be briefed as he was attending the meeting between NLC and the state government.
He said the command would investigate to ascertain what really transpired.

I'll advice all citizens to shun protest for now no matter how painful the situation is, rather develop a mean of surviving until 2019 because buhari govt do not value human lives.

A lot of protesters have been reported shot dead by nigeria police in the past one year yet no officer have been presecuted. Pls avoid protest for now.

This is too bad for the democracy of Nigeria. The masses should be allowed to voice out their anger anytime they are not please with any occurrence in the country.

Police should be our friends and not the masses pain.

Nigeria Police..why the continued killing of innocent Nigerians? You run when you see armed bandits, Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen. Did your new Master ask you to do this or is this his style ?

Before, it was police and army opening fire at unarmed protesters at Onitsha and some people celebrated it. Now, the chicken has come home to roast. Lesson, what goes around comes around. Condemn evil wherever you see it because tomorrow might be your turn

people who care about their lives should learn not to protest in front of Nigerian police officers. These guys are blood thirsty anytime, anyday. The day you go in front of police officers (untrained dogs) and scream, solidarity, nzegbu, yebareba somboribobo....That day, you are playing with fire, and its only a little while before it consumes you enough to claim your soul.

Anywhere i see protest, see me see my house. Na go i dey!!! My people need me.

Our police men and armed forces always show their prowess in unarmed citizens. What happened to the UsE of tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds and mobs?

Are we really living in the zoo?

Shooting unarmed protesters.
An everyday affair.
The plan has been tested in the ipob protest and it worked. Thus I expect every future protest to end with casualties and police brutality.

Consequence of divide and rule action by the Buharry government. After dividing and rubbishing the NLC few months ago through unlawful and illegal swinging of the big stick, what do you expect ?

The NLC has been reduced to a dog that cannot bark and when it tries to bark, the police sees it as an opportunity to test the authority given to them by Buharry.
