Barely few hours to the expiration of the ultimatum given to the Inspector-general of police, Kayode Egbetokun to order his men to vacate the various Local Government council Secretariats in Rivers state, the organised labour on Sunday say they have uncovered plans by some miscreants to take undue advantage of the action to cause mayhem across the state from Monday.

Briefing journalists in port Harcourt, the Rivers State chairman of Nigeria labour Congress NLC, Comrade Alex Agwanwor and his Trade Union Congress TUC, counterpart, Comrade Ikechukwu Onyefuru, condemned moves by those they described as enemies of the state to instigate violence in order to justify calls for a state-of-emergency in Rivers State.
They called on the state police command to be on the lookout for those who have constituted themselves as agents of destabilisation in the state.
The Organised labour also called on the outgone local government chairmen to accept the fact that their three-year tenure had since elapsed, urging them to allow rivers people to live in peace.
